A startup created by two School of Civil and Environmental Engineering graduate students aims to fix all that and make image management a snap.

Mahdi Roozbahani, now a School of Computatioanl Science and Engineering lecturer, and Fikret Atalay went live June 24 with a mobile and web app called Filio (pronounced FILL-ee-oh) that automatically tags photos with GPS coordinates and the direction the camera was pointing and allows the photographer to quickly caption the image with voice-to-text capabilities.
