Beyond Prosthetics: Turning Science Fiction into Science, and Science into Technology
Wed, Mar 11, 2015 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Phillip Alvelda, Program Manager, Biological Technologies Office; DARPA
Talk Title: Beyond Prosthetics: Turning Science Fiction into Science, and Science into Technology
Abstract: Dr. Alvelda's vision is to take the latest neural engineering science and technology out of the laboratory and seed the creation of new mind-enabled industries. The purpose of this seminar is to have discussions to explore highly-scalable direct neural interface technologies in order to design and develop complete systems that can go beyond simply restoring lost function. This research will require collaboration across multiple disciplines, including optics/photonics, medical materials and packaging, and neuroscience. This seminar is intended to be an opportunity for discussion with 40 minutes allocated for Q&A.
Biography: A scientist, engineer, serial entrepreneur, and educator, highlights of Dr. Alveldaâs career include developing sensors that have flown throughout the solar system, establishing an entirely new infrastructure in telecommunications and media at companies that he founded, including the DARPA-funded MicroDisplay, and MobiTV, and founding the non-profit Westminster Institute for K-12 Science Education reform (wiseteachers.org). Dr. Alvelda holds over 50 technical publications and numerous patents, a Technical Emmy award from the Academy of Motion Pictures, a Bachelorâs degree in Physics from Cornell University, and Masters and PhD degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is also a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer.
