Undergraduate Students Projects (UC, Berkeley - Tecnológico de Monterrey Collaborations)

This project was created to facilitate the creation of tools to be used as part of the MGDrivE toolkit. It represents the collaboration between UC, Berkeley and Tecnológico de Monterrey in an effort to get undergraduate students involved in mosquito-borne diseases research projects. One of such projects is the Mosquito App (follow the link for more information), which shows much promise in the much needed area of field data collection.

Crowd sourcing tool for gathering data on mosquitoes (AT, HMSC)

Generate a tool that allows people (civilians or health services workers) to report information of mosquito presence, species, pictures?

Related areas of interest: Web Development, Data Science, Crowd Sourcing algorithms and architectures, among others.

Standalone mosquito movement animation generator (BV, AT, HMSC)

Currently the system generates several .csv files that contain the population of each node across the time steps of each node. Check the output ADM and AFs .csv files generated. Lab members are interested in animated visualizations of simulation, however current animations are created by hand and take several hours to make, an example of such animations can be found in the project’s youtube playlist. A tool is needed to parse the .csv files and generate useful visualizations and animations of the simulation in an automatic and efficient way. The difference between the previous project and this ones is that this is expected to be a standalone a tool with more interesting visualizations.

Related areas of interest: Graphics, Animation, Data Visualization, Data Analysis.
