For 10 weeks during summer 2021 SONYC was very excited to be joined by three promising undergraduate students Matahari Kinanti Herwin, Almazhan Kapan, and James Venditto, who were participating in the NYU Tandon Summer Undergraduate Research Program (UGSRP). Their work explored the links between SONYC’s focus on noise pollution and the closely related issue of air quality.
- Almazhan Kapan researched data visulazation techniques and interface development, her work can be explored in detail here
- James Venditto researched air quality sensors and developed a codebase for data collection and integration with SONYC, his work can be explored in detail here
- Matahari Kinanti Herwin researched design metaphors for air quality interfaces, a prototype of her work can be explored in detail here
We were really pleased to take part in the program, and are really proud of the contribution that three such promising undergraduate students could make.
