Brian Krupp

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Case Western Reserve University. I received my Doctor of Engineering (D.Eng.) from Cleveland State University in 2015 under the supervision of Dr. Nigamanth Sridhar and Dr. Wenbing Zhao. You can find my Curriculum Vitae here

Research

My research interests are on how mobile and internet of things (IoT) can benefit the community, including, how we can better understand what mobile applications do with our data. I lead the CAS Lab which focuses on this research.

With the support of the National Science Foundation, we are currently investigating how to provide localized air quality data to communities using an IoT-enabled air quality sensor that students in middle and high school can create. As part of this, we are building curriculum for an in-school program and test piloting this program this year at Incarnate Word Academy.

If you are interested in any of the research or projects I am working on, please contact me.
