REU SITE: ASSET: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Advanced Secured Sensor Enabling Technologies

佛罗里达国际大学本科生研究经验（REU）站点的更新重点是安全传感器技术的研究。该主题为本科生提供了一个参与在移动医疗、车辆队列、网络安全、移动人群感知和数据分析方面具有广泛影响的研究的机会。通过在跨学科合作环境中的第一手经验，学生将通过重点活动参与科学研究，建立有关创新新兴技术的研究技能和知识。有计划的活动促进参与者之间的协作交流，提高他们的研究技能，促进学习，并提供考虑研究事业的动力。本科生将与研究人员一起探索利用无线传感器网络（WSN）的新技术和解决方案，以及对新技术的进步和实际应用至关重要的软件/硬件解决方案。该研究包括一系列项目，包括WSN的隐私保护区块链、增强现实的信息中心网络、飞行自组织网络的安全和隐私、移动传感器网络中的可信众包方案和Li-FI传感器网络。不同的本科生群体将探索这些主题，以更好地为研究生学习做准备，最终在增加劳动力多样性的同时培养人类能力。其他更广泛的影响包括为代表性不足的本科群体成员提供科学/跨文化体验，包括少数民族，妇女和残疾人。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Florida International University focuses on research in secured sensor technologies. The theme presents an opportunity for undergraduates to participate in research with broad impact in mobile health, vehicle platooning, cybersecurity, mobile crowd-sensing, and data analytics. Through firsthand-experience in an interdisciplinary, collaborative environment, students will participate in scientific research through focused activities, building research skills and knowledge on innovative, emerging technologies. Planned activities foster collaborative communication among participants, enhance their research skills, promote learning, and provide motivation to consider research careers. Undergraduates will work with research faculty to explore new technologies and solutions utilizing wireless sensor networks (WSN), as well as software/hardware solutions essential to the advancement and practical application of new technologies. The research includes a range of projects, including privacy-preserving blockchain for WSN, information-centric networking with augmented reality, security and privacy for flying ad-hoc networks, trusted crowdsourcing schemes in mobile sensor networks, and Li-FI sensor networks. Diverse groups of undergraduates will explore these topics to better prepare them for graduate studies, ultimately building human capacity while increasing workforce diversity. Additional broader impacts include providing scientific/cross-cultural experiences to members of underrepresented undergraduate groups, including minorities, women, and persons with disabilitiesThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
