We are seeking a technically skilled undergraduate student to support a grant-funded research project evaluating the operational impacts of the Spring 2026 class schedule change at the University of Georgia. This position focuses on validating camera-based and sensor-derived movement data against AI-generated counting outputs used to model campus activity patterns.

The student will work closely with professional analysts, researchers, and engineering partners to ensure that AI tools and sensor systems accurately reflect real-world conditions. This role is ideal for an undergraduate student with coding experience, strong analytical skills, and an interest in engineering, AI systems, transportation, or applied data science.
