We are pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for the 2025 CyberPowder Fellows Program! CyberPowder is an NSF-funded wireless networking hands-on training and research mentoring program for US-based graduate students. The Program addresses the problem that wireless experimental research is inherently multidisciplinary, crossing the EE and CS divide; that wireless networking is undergoing rapid technology and regulatory change; and that today’s wireless testbeds are highly sophisticated, which also means they require significant training to use. The Program is led by three professors across EE and CS at the University of Utah, Neal Patwari, Robert Ricci and Kobus van der Merwe,?with support from the POWDER platform technical staff. The Program trains students across the wireless stack to perform wireless related research on POWDER, the world’s largest openly-accessible software-defined wireless testbed. POWDER is deployed across the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City and remotely accessible from anywhere in the world. For full consideration applications are due by November 29 2024. For more information, other important dates and the link to the application form please visit: https://lnkd.in/g5nzhgnb
