Education and Outreach

Education:

  1. Graduate students have been working on this project as research assistants.
  2. Jian Tang has integrated the research results into his graduate course CSE 612 Cloud Computing at Syracuse University. Particularly, he gave a lecture about smartphone sensing and mobile crowdsourcing and gave a few related topics as suggested topics for the class project.
  3. A female student from Hershey high school, Erica Wang,  was involved in related activities as a summer intern and helped with the ICDCS’2016 paper.
