To detect buried explosive hazards in places like Afghanistan, and to save the lives of civilians and US soldiers, Michigan Tech researcher Tim Havens realizes it requires a team—a team of sensors. This technology has the potential to not only save lives, but also to advance the basic science of how to combine sensors and . . .
Today, we take a look at and welcome faculty who have started with the Fall Semester. Stephane Zuckerman has joined Michigan Tech’s Computer Science Department as a visiting assistant professor. He received his PhD in Computer Sciences at the University of Versailles Saint-Wuentin_en_Yvelines (UVSQ). Prior to coming to Tech, Zuckerman worked as a research associate . . .
Charles Wallace and Leo Ureel, along with two of their graduate students and six undergraduates in Computer Science, are spending time in Houghton and Hancock schools this week, giving elementary, middle and high school students hands-on experience with computer coding. The programs are in observance of Computer Science Education Week. They include two Hour of . . .
Scott Kuhl received the C2E2 award in the amount of $1,600. The award will help Scott purchase affordable head-mounted displays (HMDs) to support research, education, and outreach. The Michigan Tech Century II Endowed Equipment Fund (C2E2) is a program aimed at providing equipment money to improve the lives of faculty, students, and staff campus-wide. The . . .
Myounghoon “Philart” Jeon (CLS/CS) and his seven students attended the 8th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications (AutomotiveUI) Oct. 24-26 at University of Michigan. Jeon and students hosted a tutorial on “in-vehicle auditory interactions: Design and Application of Auditory Displays, Speech, Sonification and Music.” Jeon and international collaborators hosted a workshop on “Ethically . . .
Each semster Computer Science graduate students are invited to meet with faculty to share their views about the department and the graduate programs, ask questions, and discuss anything else that is of interest. It is a good time to build connections between faculty and students, and create a collaborative environment.
