Purdue University and the United States Air Force Research Laboratory have partnered to sign an education partnership agreement (EPA). The overall mission of this five-year AFRL-Purdue EPA is to encourage and enhance study and research in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as well as develop the workforce opportunities for Purdue STEM students. This EPA's first program, “Air Force Research Laboratory - Unmanned Aerial System (AFRL-UAS),"; is presented through Purdue's Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program. This AFRL supported group will enable a diverse team of students from various majors to work on hands-on team design projects and network directly with researchers and facilities at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base's AFRL.

VIP advisor, Prof. Yung-Hsiang Lu, and his team of student researchers use public camera footage of how people have responded so far to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines that could help inform new policies as the pandemic progresses. Purdue engineers built a website that pools together live footage and images from approximately 30,000 network cameras in more than 100 countries, making data easier to analyze.
