Julia Gersey
I am a Computer Science and Applied Mathematics student at Baldwin Wallace University, graduating in May 2024.
I am a member of the MOPS Research Group,
and my current research focuses on a low-cost, low-power solution for Fine-Grained Air Quality sensing in Cleveland.
I aim to develop solutions leveraging mobile apps, IoT sensing networks, and hardware to address community needs and environmental levels.
I am passionate about contributing to meaningful research projects and discovering innovative solutions in these domains.
Outside academics, I love reading, making/hacking, and exploring.
Research Interests: Mobile/IoT Sensing, Embedded Systems, Ubiquitous Computing, Human-Computer Interaction.

Fine-Grained Air Quality Sensing With IoT
MOPS Research Group
NSF-funded project investigating low-cost and low-power air quality monitoring on an Internet of Things platform using Raspberry Pi/Arduino boards and Particulate Matter 2.5 sensors.
Research Area: Mobile/IoT Sensing Networks, Embedded Systems
EduSense: Classroom Sensing Towards More Inclusive & Equitable Teaching
Carnegie Mellon Human-Computer Interaction Institute REU
EduSense is a smart classroom sensing system that captures visual and audio data, paired with machine learning to display a dashboard to instructors for their professional development.
Research Area: Human-Computer Interaction, Machine Learning, Sensor Networks
Campus Plate ()
MOPS Research Group
Campus Plate is an interdisciplinary research project funded by the EPA's People, Prosperity, and Planet (P3) Grant to help reduce food waste, food insecurity, and student hunger on college campuses via a mobile application.
Research Area: Mobile Computing
