Dr. Besma Smida began collaborating with CIVS to develop an interactive virtual reality simulation examining radio frequency propagation for airplane air-to-ground systems. Her collaboration with the Center is now working to develop a STEM summer camp for middle school students and teachers.
Dr. Smida has been at Purdue University Calumet since 2009. She recently received a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER Award to conduct research on two-way wireless communication. She is also Co-Principal Investigator for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates grant for Sustainable Wireless Communication, which also has CIVS involvement.
