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.
