Join us in congratulating Dr. Maria Gini for receiving the ACM/AIGAI Autonomous Research Award.

Per the ACM, "Professor Gini was influential and actively participated with her students in the Trading Agent Competition for Supply Chain. Her work has spanned both the design of novel algorithms and practical applications in warehouses and hospitals, such as surveillance, exploration, and search and rescue. Professor Gini has been an active member and leader of the agents community since its inception. She is also a consistent mentor and role model, deeply committed to bringing diversity to the fields of AI, Robotics, and Computing, creating a wide spectrum of activities and leading women in computing organizations. Professor Gini is the former President of IFAAMAS."

Congratulations Dr. Gini!

An alligators ankles are ... unique ... to say the least. With such a wide range of motion, Dr. Morgan Turner studies the animal to utilize large multi-bone datasets. However, this poses several animation and data visualization challenges.

Join us through Zoom on Friday, February 4th, at 2:30PM in welcoming Dr. Turner and her research—including reptile related work and beyond!

With a background in paleontology, evolutionary biology, locomotion, foot function, X-ray videography, animation, illustration, and visualization of spatially and temporally referenced multivariate data, Dr. Turner's research interests lie in analysis and visualization of motion and 3-D biomechanical data.
