Weili Dai, UC Berkeley alumna and co-founder of Marvell, a Santa Clara-based company developing storage, communications, and consumer silicon products, visited UC Berkeley for a press briefing on Tuesday, May 5. Marvell is a principal benefactor of Sutardja Dai Hall, the new headquarters for the University of California's CITRIS: the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society.

During the event, CEE graduate students in Civil Systems Dan Work and Aude Hofleitner presented Mobile Millennium, a traffic monitoring system being developed by Professor Alexandre Bayen and his students, in partnership with Nokia, Navteq and UC Berkeley, under the umbrella of the California and US Departments of Transportation. Mobile Millennium uses GPS data from cell phones to create a picture of traffic flow. (Bay Area commuters can download free software onto their GPS-enabled cell phones to participate in this project.)
