Social Media and the Post-COVID-19 Landscape
Thu, Jun 04, 2020 @ 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Alumni
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Faculty from USC Dornsife, Keck School of Medicine at USC and USC Viterbi School of Engineering, Faculty
Talk Title: Social Media and the Post-COVID-19 Landscape
Abstract: As the pandemic has unfolded, social media has once again demonstrated how it can inform -“ or mislead -“ by encouraging the spread of literally deadly information. Join us as faculty from USC Dornsife, Keck School of Medicine at USC and USC Viterbi School of Engineering converge to discuss the implications of misinformation from political, social and engineering perspectives -“ and how it could alter the course of social media.
Host: USC Dornsife, Keck School of Medicine, and USC Viterbi

Haptics Research and the Science of Touch
Wed, Jun 10, 2020 @ 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Alumni
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Heather Culbertson, USC Assistant Professor - Computer Science
Talk Title: Viterbi Live
Abstract: Dr. Heather Culbertson and her team explores how humans interact with the world, robots, and technology through touch, and the impact it has on increasing multiple elements of human productivity and positivity. The goal of her research is to create natural and intuitive interactions that realistically mimic the touch sensations experienced during interactions with the physical world. Join us as Dr. Culbertson leads a presentation and live Q&A session.

COVID-19: Droplet and Airborne Transmission
Fri, Jun 26, 2020 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Alumni
University Calendar
Assessing the 6ft rule and occupation of enclosed spaces
A key societal need in the presence of SARS-CoV-2 is to safely occupy enclosed spaces for extended periods of time (e.g., offices, classrooms, community facilities etc.). This requires a characterization of the respiratory emissions from individuals with and without masks for a single breath or a single sneeze but must also examine the effect of multiple people in a confined space for durations measured in hours. Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 via larger respiratory droplets and direct contact has been established. Several studies suggest that airborne transmission may also be important. Fluid dynamics plays an essential role in determining transmission via both mechanisms. In this seminar, we will present preliminary results from a collaborative research effort that combines experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical modeling in fluid dynamics to characterize aerosol and droplet dispersion in scenarios ranging from host-to-host, near-range transmission, to room-scale, long-duration exposure events that characterize different return-to-work settings.WebCast Link: https://usc.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bS2IGZDMTw2aymiLaBAzIw
