Hermes App Background

The Hermes app is accessible through a car’s display panel and syncs GPS and fuel data for planning gas stops on long trips. It is also designed to scout the best restaurants and hotels along the way.

The team includes information technology and management graduate students Prachi Sahoo, Chao Li and Atul Nagar; Dwight Fraencis Dy, a management and administrative sciences grad student; and Xi  Jiang.
