Software Defined Radio Workshop
At this inaugural event, we had multiple guest lecturers discuss a wide range of SDR topics and we offered a hands-on breakout session with the GNU Radio project and SDR hardware (USRP2). With nearly 40 attendees from industry and academia, the event was a great way to learn about new work in the area of SDR and offered an excellent networking opportunity to meet other individuals working on SDR projects in and around the Boston area!

BU Energy Club – Smart Lighting Challenge
This student run competition is focused on developing the optimal design, manufacturing, operations and product strategy for solid state lighting technologies under development at the National Science Foundation (NSF) Smart Lighting Engineering Research Center (ERC). Teams, made up with both graduate and undergraduates, compete by devising approaches to a Smart Lighting case. The case is authored by Professor Tom Little who leads the BU portion of the National Science Foundation Smart Lighting Engineering Research Center.

Smart Spaces: A Smart Lighting Industry/Academia day
As we move toward a 24/7 society, humans are spending more of their time in constructed, illuminated, and connected environments. To assure our health and well being, reduce stress, enhance social interactions, and improve productivity, security, and safety, LED-based lighting systems are creating “smart spaces”. These spaces integrate illuminators, sensors, controllers, and communications into systems that enhance and adapt to the needs of humans and human activities.ts.
