This
year's CITRIS White Paper student competition received another set of
fantastic, innovative proposals, full of enthusiasm and great ideas for
using IT in the service of society. The judges had a very difficult
time narrowing them down to the top six, all of which will receive a
cash prize.
The top six, in no particular order, are:
- Information technology platform to help motorized wheelchair users achieve universal access, led by Jesse Leaman from UC Berkeley
- Summer of Service Technology Institute, led by Christina Hamill from UC Santa Cruz
- Telemicroscopy for Disease Diagnosis, led by David N. Breslauer from UC Berkeley
- iCare: Direct Person-to-Person Charity for Natural Disaster Relief, led by Anand Kulkarni from UC Berkeley
- Interactive Lifecycle Assessment Tools for Consumer-level Goods and Services, led by Scott Zimmerman from UC Berkeley
- Coupling Output-based Aid and Mobile Technologies, led by Ben Bellows from UC Berkeley
The
awards ceremony will be held on Monday, May 7th, at 4:00 p.m. in 290
HMMB, UC Berkeley. Students from each of these groups will give a
5-minute overview of their proposal, followed by the presentation of
the final awards. This event is free, open to the public and broadcast
live on-line at mms://media.citris.berkeley.edu/webcast, and
refreshments will be served.
Please join us on Monday to honor these outstanding researchers in the CITRIS White Paper competition 2007.
