Save the date for the next UC IT Town Hall – June 6 at 10:00 a.m. The featured speaker will be Professor Kyle Lewis, chair and professor of Technology Management at UC Santa Barbara. Her research examines how organizations leverage individual and collective knowledge. She examines the performance of teams, especially those teams engaged in knowledge work such as professional services, new product development, and project-based tasks.

May 17, 2018, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day or “GAAD,” as they say.
What does that mean? Well, walk for a minute in someone else’s shoes – particularly someone who is disabled and has to use assistive technology to surf the web, watch a video, or complete an online form.
When you do that, you’ll understand why IT needs to be designed to be accessible to the people who use assistive technologies like screen readers.
It’s three months and counting until UCCSC!

How computers see is the through-line running from Lazar Supic’s Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Belgrade, to his UC Berkeley PhD in Nuclear Engineering, to his current work as a Postdoc in UC Berkeley’s DeepDrive Industry Consortium (BDD). His work has taken a path that began with computer vision in robots, moved to gamma-ray tracking in atomic reactions, and now focuses on machine learning for automotive perception.
