Columbia Electrical Engineering Ph.D. students Tingjun Chen and Manav Kohli presented a demo on the open-access full-duplex radio in the ORBIT testbed (developed within the Columbia FlexICoN project), which will serve as one of the pilot experiments in the COSMOS testbed. High school teachers Joel Bianchi from Frederick Douglass Academy I, Melissa Sanchez from Salome Urena Leadership Academy (MS 322), and Richerd Foster from Parkside Preparatory Academy (MS2), demonstrated the COSMOS education toolkit developed in Summer 2018.
