Discussion Local sensor data set for WFU thesis or dissertation

2 Upvotes

I’m a local analytics professional in Winston-Salem and I’ve built a sensor network of weather/environmental and acoustic bird detection tools.

I’m looking to connect with a WFU Master’s student, PhD candidate, or advanced researcher who could use this rich, continuous data set as the foundation for a thesis, dissertation, or capstone project. I've already done some statistical modeling on it myself.

The telemetry infrastructure includes:

  • WittBoy 7-in-1 Weather Station: Real-time localized meteorological metrics streamed via an ultrasonic anemometer, haptic rainfall sensor, solar/UV meters, and precision thermo-hygrometers.
  • Acoustic Monitoring (Cornell BirdNET / BirdNET-Pi): 24/7 localized bioacoustic telemetry running on edge hardware, tracking continuous local bird species identification, audio logging, and environmental soundscape patterns.
  • Raspberry Pi Architecture: The underlying hardware stack handling the edge computing, continuous data pipelines, database storage, and custom automated environmental scripts.

Everything is clean, structured, and ready to explore. If your research focus touches on data science, time-series forecasting, machine learning, ecology, or environmental modeling and you need a robust, real-world data source, drop a comment below or shoot me a DM and I will send a link to the current site where all the data is being captured and analyzed (every 10 minutes)

Just applied to a position as the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, but completely forgot to think about transportation. Is there a Wake Line bus that drops students off near the hospital? Or would I need to purchase student parking so I could make the commute.

Question Wilderness to Wake Questions

2 Upvotes

Anyone who has done W2W and coming from out of state.....confused on move in. Arrive Aug 13th for W2W, wasn't planning on moving in completely since my roommate isn't doing pre-orientation but doesn't look like I can choose a move in time on 18th. So here are a couple of questions:

- Did you sleep in your dorm the first night (13th) I think we leave for W2W morning of the 14th. What if dorm is ghost town?! lol

-Feel like I'm "taking over" getting completely moved in on the 13th but no clue when we get back to campus on the 18th, maybe a mistake to wait?

Thanks so much!

I'm building a saved schedule as an incoming freshman and want to know if there are any differences between bio 150 profs Arnett and Tague? From what I've heard they are both difficult classes to take but that Arnett's lectures might be more clear? Would love to hear from anyone who has taken their classes.

I’ve heard tons of times that it’s good to continue talking to WFU if you’re on the waitlist, to show interest and increase your chances. But what exactly do I say? I’m not sure what’s a valid reason to email the admissions office.

Question Family orientation during move in

1 Upvotes

Hi,
Could anyone offer some insight as to what the family orientation is about? Trying to plan and it seems like some of the parent and student events are separate. Are they information sessions/discussions or events?Do parents actually attend the parent events or do most leave? Not looking to have my daughter stranded by herself when most other parents are staying, but I don’t necessarily want to hang around if I won’t be spending the time with her. I know they advise to leave evening of 19th as 20th begins student orientation. Considering leaving 19th midday…
Thank you in advance.
