This Thursday at Change we will be hosting Undergraduate Research Day! Three
CSE undergrads will be giving short presentations on their current research
in ICTD. The presenters and projects are as follows:

   - *Jeff Beorse* will be talking about his work on the ODK Collect user
   interface. In the current interface, each question type has a single
   available appearance. Jeff is working on designing new display options, with
   a focus on organizing multiple choice questions more efficiently, especially
   when fitting multiple questions on a single page. His goal is to discover
   whether offering a few display options would allow users to create forms
   that are easier to understand and quicker to complete.
   - *YoonSung Hong* will be discussing his work on ODK Tables. ODK Tables
   is an application for hosting a relational database on a smart phone that
   supports SMS-based interactions and allows import/export of tables to other
   storage whether in the cloud or on another local computing device. The
   objective of ODK Tables is to lower barriers experienced by entrepreneurs or
   other information providers in the developing world to field their own
   information services.
   - *Krysta Yousoufian* will be discussing her work on the Smart Connect
   project. Smart Connect is a system that allows rapid communication to and
   from rural health clinics via SMS. Krysta has been working to develop a
   pilot application for Vietnam that provides vaccine stock management and and
   monitors the temperature of a vaccine refrigerator.

Please join us for sandwiches, and to support undergraduate research in
ICTD!
