On May 1, Dr. Xiaojun Bi, from the Department of Computer Science, presented his innovative research on computational interaction for designing software user interfaces and interaction technology. From historical use of typewriters to modern day use of virtual keyboards, humans interact with different text input devices. As text entry
On April 3, Dr. Dávalos unfolded the mysteries of 5 mass extinctions and offered pivotal lessons for preventing future extinction. Using an example from the Caribbean, Dr. Dávalos described the end of glaciation that caused the bat extinction. On the other hand, there was a fossil study which revealed
University Libraries is pleased to announce its fourth lecture of the Spring 2018 STEM Speaker Series given by Dr. Xiaojun Bi, Department of Computer Science. Title: “Computational Interaction in Post-PC Computing” Date/Time: Tuesday, May 1, 2018 from 1pm-2pm Location: Special Collections Seminar Room, E2340, second floor of the Melville
On March 27, Dr. Ya Wang, from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, presented her innovative research project on passive infrared (PIR) sensors. PIR sensors currently used in buildings only detect moving objects. This detection may provide false negative detections resulting in inaccurate lighting, temperature swings, and waste of energy.
The second lecture of the Spring 2018 STEM Speaker Series, given by Dr. Ya Wang from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, was rescheduled to Friday, March 30, 2018 from 2pm-3pm. Title: “Optically chopped PIR sensor for occupancy detection” New Date/Time: Friday, March 30, 2018 from 2pm-3pm Location: Special Collections
