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.
