Data visualization is...
[more]“I know when I’ve had a bad week, but in the moment I might not know the facts that have contributed to me having a poor week. We set out to discover whether there was a way to move the needle from an almost backward way of assessing people’s workplace performance to using more objective measures,” Campbell tells the Washington Post.
See the teams forthcoming ACM UbiComp 2019 paper on predicting workplace...
[more]From Dartmouth news by David Hirsch and Bill Platt:
A smart fabric developed at Dartmouth that can help athletes and physical therapy patients reduce arm injuries and accelerate recovery was highlighted in the National Science Foundation’s “4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn’t Hear About This Week” social media campaign.
Created by Associate Professor of Computer Science ...
[more]Patricia Hannaway recently did a postcast interview with Sydney Finkelstein.
Have you heard of Lord of the Rings? And, of course, the character Golem? Or maybe you’ve seen Mulan – one of Disney’s feature productions. Did you ever think about who brought those characters to life via animation and computer graphics? My guest this week might be able to help – because she’s the one who did the work! An accomplished animator, teacher, artist, and even ex-Wall Street banker, Patricia...
[more]At 4 a.m. on May 1, 1964, in the basement of College Hall, Professor John Kemeny and a student programmer simultaneously typed RUN on neighboring terminals. When they both got back correct answers to their simple programs, time-sharing and BASIC were born. Those innovations made computing accessible to all Dartmouth students and faculty, and soon after, to people across the nation and the world.
See the story of BASIC below, or check out the full story at the...
[more]In the 2019 TechWomen|TechGirls annual awards luncheon, Prof. Zhou discussed her journey, which transcends student, teacher and professional, from studying computer science in China, to pursuing a PhD and starting a faculty career in the United States. She also discussed her current research in mobile computing, as well as her experience and the lessons she has learned navigating a male-dominated field. The annual...
[more]Associate Professor of Computer Science Xia Zhou is a rock star, and now she has an award to prove it.
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the largest educational and scientific computing society in the world, has awarded Zhou the ACM SIGMOBILE's RockStar Award. SIGMOBILE is the ACM’s organizational division “dedicated to all things mobile.”
The ACM SIGMOBILE's RockStar award committee selected Zhou “in recognition of...
[more]Dartmouth News has a story about how Dartmouth faculty, including our very own Alberto Quattrini Li, are reaching out to schoolchildren in the community as a way of sharing their knowledge, enthusiasm, and excitement about STEM fields. From the story:
