Students Present Innovative Project at FIGR Learning Center

On May 4th, 2024, Flor Luna and Brian Gomez Jimenez delivered an engaging presentation at the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria Learning Center at Fairfield Osborn Preserve.

They introduced their project titled "Autonomous Unmanned Surface Vehicle System for Bathymetric Measurements," which was supervised by Dr. Nansong Wu.

The audience showed great interest in Flor and Brian's presentation, actively participating by asking numerous questions, all of which were thoughtfully addressed by the presenters. Throughout this project, the students received valuable guidance from industry advisor Jeff Church, a Senior Environmental Specialist at Sonoma County Water Agency.

Reflecting on their project, Flor emphasized, "Our goal in this project was to ensure we record accurate data that can be used by researchers and scientists." Brian added, "It is exciting to see that our project can actually serve the needs of our community and is potentially useful for the Sonoma County Water Agency."

Their project not only showcased innovation but also highlighted their dedication to community service and the advancement of scientific research. Join us in congratulating Flor and Brian for their outstanding work and commitment to making a positive impact in their field and community.
