EECS undergraduate student Scott Crawford was featured in an East Bay Business News article titled “Sandia lab tool puts Internet traffic on the map”. During his internship at Sandia National Laboratories Livermore, Scott and fellow intern Andrew Schran, under the mentorship of computer scientist Steve Hurd, developed SHINI, the Sandia Heuristic Intelligent Network Imaging tool that allows computer scientists to visualize connections between computers drawn as lines between points or color-coded “heat maps” on Google Earth.
