Month: May 2017

We had a great time, during the first IndustryXchange sponsored by the College of Engineering at the Pennsylvaniaia State University. We had an opportunity to present our current research work on personalized learning systems and gain valuable insight on how affective-sensitive system and facial recognition technology can be implemented to solve a wide range of current industry problems.

Here are some pictures of the event.

The 2017 IISE Annual Conference & Expo was a great experience. I had the chance to get together with old friends and professors from the RIT, as well as connect and get to know other ISE peers. The conference was a great opportunity to learn about the state-of-the-art research in the field of Additive Manufacturing, Energy, Lean, and Human Factors.

I presented  the work done in collaboration with Dr David Nembard  titled: “Cooperative Workforce Planning Heuristic with workers Learning/Forgetting and Demand Constraints.” (see final presentation here)

Here are just a couple of pictures from the event. There was a lot to see and learn, not too much for pictures 😛 Looking forward to next year.

Once again, I had the privilege to attend to one of the greatest innovation and creativity festivals in the USA, Imagine RIT. This was the10 year anniversary and my 6th year attending. It was so great to visit the Rochester Institute of Technology, and the  Industrial and Systems Engineering Department, especially the Toyota Production Systems Laboratory (the first lab that introduced me to research and teaching).

Image RIT is a great opportunity to see at first-hand the latest research and technology that are shaping the future.
