Ehsan Hoque, assistant professor of computer science, is in rare company. The editors of MIT Technology Review have named Hoque one of this year’s “innovators under 35”
“The goal is to develop a conferencing application that senses many aspects of human behavior to assess group dynamics,” explained Luis Nova, a rising junior in computer science who joined the group this summer as a Xerox fellow.
People often rank public speaking as the number one fear that they face. New cloud-based technology from researchers at the University of Rochester lets speakers polish and practice at home in front of their computer camera, while the analysis provides instant feedback about improvement.
Ehsan Hoque had just defended his PhD dissertation at MIT in 2013 when he returned to his desk and found a voice mail from DARPA, the federal Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Congrats to the first round of Ph.D. graduates (advised by Jeff Bigham) from ROC HCI. Walter Lasecki will be joining the CSE dept. of University of Michigan, Erin Brady will be joining the School of Informatics and Computing at IUPUI, and Yu Zhong will be joining the Google Accessibility team.
