Cogent is, of course, primarily an educational facility. Undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD students reap the benefits of the wisdom of our internationally-renowned team of lecturers to produce some of the most exciting and vibrant pervasive sensing projects undertaken anywhere in the world.
Undergraduates considering embarking on a degree program with Coventry University may well get the opportunity to undertake a second or final year project with us, and even undertake one of our invaluable, Nuffield Foundation supported summer internships.
Each year, Cogent puts forward a catalogue of undergraduate project proposals and each year we attract a number of very capable and enthusiastic project students.
We try hard to fuel their enthusiasm and give them access to the equipment and, most importantly, the support that they need.
Some of the students have so much fun, they stay on to study further with Cogent. Mike Allen first came into contact with Cogent as an undergraduate project student and Tessa Daniel worked with us for her masters project before joining as an RA. Dan Goldsmith also completed his final year undergraduate project with the Centre and went on to complete a summer internship as well. Dan is now a newly enrolled PhD student.

Dan Goldsmith recently completed an exciting summer internship program and final year project (2007) with Cogent in which he worked on the development of software that would act as a bridge between Sensor, the WSN simulator and the Gumstix hardware platform. The software, in effect, allows routing protocols simulated in Sensor to run on the gumstix.
Dan graduated in November 2007 and has since joined Cogent as a PhD student. His research will focus on the development of middleware services for wireless sensor network systems.
