Recent work by ECE Professor William Eisenstadt, supported by a grant from the Centers for Disease Control, seeks to equip the traditional ‘bioassay’ cages with networked sensors which are capable of delivering instantaneous data to handheld devices to ensure that the testing of mosquito control methods is more precise and more rigorous.

Using a novel system of custom-fabricated soil sensors, drones, and a wireless network, William Eisenstadt is part of a team of researchers aiming to reduce the amount of excess nitrogen fertilizer that makes its way into the water supply.
