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.

We won the second place which included a $200 prize on the 2017 College of Engineering Research Symposium  which took place April 4th, 2017 in the Nittany Lion Inn at Penn State.

We presented our work titled:  “Linking Creativity Measurements to Product Market Favorability: A Data-Mining Approach”.

We are getting ready for the 2017 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference. The conference will take place in Atlanta, GA, from September 20-23, 2017.

We will be presenting our work titled: “Towards Personalized Performance Feedback by Mining the Dynamics of Facial Keypoint Data“.

We are getting ready for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) 2017 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC) & Computers & Information in Engineering (CIE) Conference. This will take place in Cleveland, OH from August 6-9, 2017.

1.We will be presenting our work titled: “From Mining Affective State to Mining Facial Keypoint data: The Quest Towards Personalized Feedback“, done in collaboration with Dr. Conrad Tucker.

2. Also, the work done in collaboration with Dr. Scarlet Miller, and Xuan Zheng, titled: “Linking Creativity Measurements to Product Market Favorability: A Data-Mining Approach”. This work was the continuation of the final project completed for the EDSGN-597  Creativity in Engineering Design course.

We are getting ready for the 124th American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference & Exposition, taking place in Columbus, OH from June 23-28, 2017. We will be presenting our work titled: “When to Provide Feedback? Exploring Human-CoRobot Interactions in Engineering Environments“, done in collaboration with Dr. Conrad Tucker, June 26 from 9:45 am-11:15 am.

I will be presenting the work done in collaboration with Dr. David Nembard at the 2017 IISE Annual Conference taking place Pittsburg, PA from May 20-23, 2017.We will be presenting our work titled: “Cooperative Workforce Planning Heuristic with workers Learning/Forgetting and Demand Constraints.”

The oral presentation will take place Sunday, May 21st, starting at 5 pm in the Work Systems Design section room 411 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. (see schedule here)

The community is gaining interest in Gamification. Our research on the topic of Gamification, which was published in the  Journal of Computer in Human Behavior on January 2017  (see doc. here),  was the center of a news article published in Penn State News:”Gaming helps personalized therapy level up“.

Furthermore, this article got the attention of the research community and was published in both the Harold and Inge Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering website, and the School of Engineering Design Technology and Professional Programs website.
