NSF Award

Ram Dantu, professor of computer science and engineering, earned a $50,000 Innovation Corps award from the National Science Foundation to commercialize his Mobile Life Guard program, which is aimed at providing safer roads for drivers. Dantu's program will allow drivers to integrate their smartphones with their cars' on-board computers to analyze driver behavior and road conditions and send alerts to other drivers. Dantu is the only professor in Texas and one of only 21 in the nation to receive one of the inaugural awards. His team, coached by Stanford University, includes Brandon Gozick, UNT computer science and engineering student.
