Lab participates in SoE Centennial Showcase

 

Lab joins the celebration of 100 years of Stanford Engineering!

PhD students Daria Fontani-Herreros and Andrea Green represented the Billington Lab at the School of Engineering Centennial Showcase. In the area of “Smart Cities,” Daria led an engaging eye-tracking activity while introducing attendees to the NSF-funded NeighborDrive project, a collaboration with Prof. Haeyoung Noh’s Structures as Sensors Lab group and colleagues at CMU and the University of Michigan. In the area of “The Future of Work,” Andrea shared insights from her workshops with in-home health assistants on the potential of ambient sensing in the built environment to support elderly care. This work is part of the Ambient Intelligence for Aging in Place project funded through Stanford’s Human-centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) Institute and is a collaboration with Prof. James Landay’s research group in Computer Science and Prof. Andrea Cuadra’s research group at Olin College, both in the field of human-computer interaction.

The lab is proud to be a part of these projects that exemplify the kind of pioneering interdisciplinary research Stanford Engineering has championed throughout its remarkable 100-year history.
