Science Distilled: Super Human

Featured panelists:

Dr. Emily Hand is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. She has B.S. degrees in Computer Science and Engineering as well as Applied Mathematics, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science. Dr. Hand is the director of the Machine Perception Lab at UNR. Her primary research interest lies at the intersection of machine learning and human perception with a long-term goal of building discrete wearable devices for people with disabilities to improve social interactions using visual and language cues.

Kellen Mitchell is a PhD candidate studying mechanical engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research focuses on developing 3D printing techniques through the design, characterization, and implementation of thermally stable yield-stress fluids. These novel printing techniques are utilized to manufacture end-use thermoplastic structures for mining, robotics, and biomedical applications.
