Theory and practice in Joe-Wong’s smart data pricing

By the Broadcast Center on April 18, 2016, noon

Carlee Joe-Wong, a doctoral student in the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics, studies smart data pricing, which aims to better manage traffic on wireless networks by incentivizing users to change their data usage behavior so as to reduce network congestion. She co-founded a startup called Datami based on some her work.

Joshua Bennett, Kellen Funk, Carlee Joe-Wong and Rajesh Ranganath have been named co-winners of the Porter Ogden Jacobus Fellowship, Princeton University's top honor for graduate students. The fellowships support the final year of study at Princeton and are awarded to students whose work has exhibited the highest scholarly excellence. The Jacobus Fellows will be honored at Alumni Day ceremonies Saturday, Feb. 20, at Jadwin Gymnasium.

Student work fuels effort to make smartphones smarter .

Most term papers are evaluated by one or two people, but Carlee Joe-Wong's will be checked by hundreds. The paper, completed in 2010 as part of a junior-year independent project at Princeton University, has evolved into a research project involving wireless operators like AT&T and 1,000 participating wireless customers with mobile data plans. Along the way, it has also led to the development of a popular free app.

Engineers work to ease Internet data flow as demand for video grows .

Demand continues to soar for movies, television shows, amateur videos, and video calls delivered via the Internet and mobile networks. Over the past few years, Princeton electrical engineer Mung Chiang and his team have methodically pieced together a replica of the global Internet and mobile networks to develop new ideas and systems that will help ensure that the networking infrastructure of the future will meet consumer demand.

Engaging in the enterprise of invention at Princeton .

From life-saving drugs to technologies that make people's lives easier, Princeton University researchers continually bring innovations to the marketplace for the benefit of society. Each year, about 300 members of the University research community engage in transferring their discoveries into products and services, according to the University's Office of Technology Licensing.
