Month: March 2018

We were one of the 214 graduate students to present their research at the 2018 Penn State Graduate Exhibition. We presented our work done on facial keypoint data mining to improve personalized feedback, titled: “Towards Personalized Performance Feedback by Mining the Dynamics of Facial Keypoint Data”. People had a great time interacting with the DATA Lab Co-Robot Penny and its facial recognition capabilities. Here are some pictures of the event.

I was able to be part of the 2018 Emerging Research National (ERN) Conference in STEM, celebrated in Washington, D.C. (February 22nd-24th). There were several great speakers, from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) presenting how the responses to last year’s storms are offering lessons on resiliency and opportunity in the Caribbean (see article here).

During the ERN conference, we were part of the Graduate Fair and represented the Multicultural Engineering Graduate Association from Penn State. During the conference, we assisted Dr. Gersie from the Applied Research Laboratory and their D.O.O.R Summer program, as well as the Center for Engineering Outreach and Inclusion in the search and recruitment of minorities and underrepresented students that are planning to pursue a graduate education in the STEM fields.
