==Personal Information==

I am an undergraduate student at Alverno College majoring in Mathematics and English Literature.  This summer I will be working with Dr.Iqbal, researching location privacy in a ubiquitous computing environment.

==REU Goals and Milestones==

* Survey the area (''On Going'')
* Identify challenges(''In Progress'')
* Identify some senerios/applications(''On Going'')
* Find out what has been done so far(''In Progress'')
* Become familar with programming in a ubicomp environment(''On Going'')
* Develop a solution and try it out
* evaluate and apply solution in an application

==Week 1==

===Tuesday, June 1===
* REU Orientation
* Acquire swipe card access to nessasary spaces
* Begin reading survey papers on location privacy
* Talk #1 "Good Research Practices"

===Wednesday, June 2===
* Continued reading papers and taking notes

===Thursday, June 3===
* Still reading many survey papers 
** ''Reading these papers is much different from reading literature and I am finding that it takes a long time to read these papers for comprehension.'' 
* Meet with Dr. Iqbal to discuss progress so far, tasks for the upcoming week, and goals for the summer.
