FIU Computer Science Students are Working to Build Smart Cities

Location: FIU Ocean Bank Convocation Center (FIU Arena)
1180 SW 113th Avenue
Miami, FL 33174

Times: 1:30pm-4:00pm

Computer Science students at Florida International University (FIU) are working with SOP Technologies to help develop a "Smart Stormwater" system. 

FIU students Leandro Gonzalez and Luis Miguel Herrnsdorf worked on building a web app to help cities track and analyze data captured by wireless sensors. SOP Technologies' Smart Stormwater system is an Internet of Things (IoT) solution that uses sensors and web interfaces to prevent water pollution, prevent floods due to clogged stormwater pipes, and help communities save money in stormwater pollution maintenance/removal. 

“Contributing to the Smart Stormwater System has been a challenging and enriching experience. I am proud to be part of this exciting project, and being able to help to build the smart cities of the future, today.”

— Leandro Gonzalez, Student, FIU

“I am very grateful for having the opportunity to work on the Stormwater/Smart City project where I was able to implement new technologies to create something useful. This project can bring great benefits to our ocean, to our ecosystem and thus, to all of us.”

— Luis Miguel Herrnsdorf, Student, FIU

The Smart Stormwater project, along with the work of several FIU students, will be presented during the FIU Senior Design Project Showcase on 4/20/18. The event is open to the public and is a great opportunity to meet the next generation of Engineers in the Miami area.
