A Week of Hands-On Learning and Networking at the POWDER-RENEW Mobile and Wireless Week

I had the privilege of attending the first POWDER-RENEW Mobile and Wireless Week at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City in September 2019. The week-long event provided a unique opportunity to learn about the latest research on wireless and mobile networks and to explore the POWDER platform, a powerful tool for conducting wireless experiments.

The Mobile and Wireless Week was an immersive experience that included lectures, talks, and hands-on exploration. We were introduced to the features of the POWDER platform and given the chance to set up and conduct exciting wireless experiments.

Thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation, travel, lodging, and meals for up to 25 students from US institutions were covered. It was truly an incredible opportunity to learn from some of the leading experts in the field and to connect with other students and researchers who are passionate about wireless and mobile networks.

The event was well-organized, and the University of Utah provided a beautiful and inspiring setting for the week. I am grateful for the opportunity to attend the Mobile and Wireless Week and to learn more about the exciting developments in the field. I hope that many more students will have the chance to participate in this event in the future and benefit from the knowledge and expertise shared during the week.
