iSchool faculty are leading conversations in the information field across the globe. They publish, present, and contribute their expertise in myriad way throughout the year. See where our faculty have been active this spring:
Carlos Caicedo had a conference paper and presentation accepted for the IEEE/AIAA Integrated Communications Navigation and Surveillance (ICNS) Conference, 2022. Chen Luo, Rui Zuo, M. Cenk Gursoy, Carlos Caicedo, Adrian Solomon (Thales Digital Aviation), Qinru Qiu, “An Integrated Simulation Platform for the Analysis of UAS Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Operations Supported by 4G/5G Communications in Urban and Rural Environments”.
Additionally, as part of the grant-supported activities of the “Vacant Property Monitoring Project” between CENT, City of Syracuse and Chimera L.L.C, two LoRaWAN antenna and gateways are now fully operational which will support the transmission of data from sensors that will be deployed as part of the project in vacant properties located in Syracuse.
Caicedo also started a new collaboration with Civil Engineering’s Assistant Professor Liz Carter. Where CENT’s LoRaWAN and IoT infrastructure will be leveraged to develop new/innovative flood monitoring approaches.
He is also collaborating with researchers from Rutgers, Columbia and NYU that lead one of the US platforms for advanced wireless research (PAWR) called COSMOS (Cloud Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale Deployment).
