Researchers from Clarkson are working with their counterparts from Arizona State University (ASU) to empower communities with this knowledge.
Leading the project is Mahesh Banavar, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering. Stephanie Schuckers, professor and director of the Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) joins Banavar in collaborating with ASU researchers Andreas Spanias and Cihan Tepedelenlioglu to develop the technology that will use data collected from cell phone towers, WiFi and Bluetooth traces and a specialized algorithm to help detect poten
