“I didn’t have any formal research experience before doing the program, so this was really a deep dive...I had so much support. I really appreciated Professor Nalini’s time, as well as guidance from my mentor, Rahul. I learned a lot from them [and] from having this dedicated space to fully immerse yourself in research.” - IIana Nyugen 2023 REU Program Participant

Welcome

The program started out as a proposal, called “Cultivating the IoT-enabled Smart Community” (IoT-SITY), which aimed to set up a National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at UCI.

IoT-SITY REU Site will annually host 9-10 students from across the nation to conduct research during the summer with faculty mentors on topics related to IoT for Smart Communities. Participants will investigate exciting applications and explore ways in which we can reliably and safely apply and deploy IoT systems to develop the Smart and Connected Communities of the future.
