Prof. Doshi received a new NSF grant that will catalyze an international research collaboration on intelligent methods for renewable-energy smart grids between Computer Science researchers and a multidisciplinary team of researchers at Delft University of Technology, Netherlands. TU Delft is a world leader in research on smart energy grids. Prof. Doshi will also discuss a potential student exchange program between the Institute for AI and TU Delft.

Anti-malware program developed by PhD students Phani Vadrevu and Babak Rahbarinia, under the direction of Prof. Roberto Perdisci and Prof. Kang Li, is helping to keep campus computers safe, and it may also prove useful for other institutions that want to protect sensitive information from cybercriminals. More information about the project can be found in the following UGA news article: http://news.uga.edu/releases/article/anti-malware-program-developed-at-uga-used-to-keep-campus-secure-0315/

 

An NSF funded project on using social media for tracking and combating harmful algal blooms was recently featured on the UGA’s main page. This project, called Cyanotracker, is led by Profs. Ramaswamy and Bhandarkar from Computer Science and Prof. Mishra from Dept. of Geography. More information is about the project available in this UGA news article: http://news.uga.edu/releases/article/crowdsourcing-cyanotracker-harmful-algal-blooms-georgia-lakes-0215/

Congratulations to Prof. Ramaswamy, Prof. Mishra (Department of Geography, UGA) and Prof. Bhandarkar for receiving a grant from the NSF for building a multi-cloud infrastructure for effective monitoring of inland waters and coastal wetlands. This project will seamlessly integrate community observations, remote sensing measurements, and advanced multimedia analytics for sustainable management of salt marshes and inland waters.
