The C70 Project
I have been working with three
environmental justice communities (Elyria-Swansea, Globeville and Cole) in
Denver that have been majorly impacted by The Central 70 construction
project. We are building a socio-technical system comprised of sensors,
smartphone apps and cloud servers to understand the impact of this construction
on their health & well-being and mitigate any negative impacts.

CU Mountain Research Station
I helped install and manage a wireless sensor
network at The CU Mountain Research Station that was used for studying
extreme environment. Real time sensor data collected from this networks was
used in lesson plans and hands-on activities that I helped developed for
4th and 5th grade curriculum in BVSD schools.

Sombrero Marsh
I helped install and manage a wireless sensor
network at The Sombrero Marsh Environmental Education Center that was used

graders)

trips for 4th/5th grade students to CU Mountain Research Station and

CRA Congressional Fly-In
In an effort to serve the computing community and
ensure that US Congress understands the value of computing research going
on in their states and districts, I participated in the CRA Congressional
Fall Fly-In in 2016, where I interacted with lawmakers in Washington DC to
help make the case for federal support for computing research.

Other Outreach Activities
I have been involved lots of other community
outreach activities, including serving as science fair judge at Peak to
Peak middle and high schools and regional science fair competitions,
election judge to monitor the operation of electronic voting machines
during the 2008, 2012 and 2016 US presidential elections, and helping
develop computing projects for high school students as part of their
after-school activities at The St. Vrain Valley Schools Innovation Center.
