Title: Computing Creative Technology and Design

Presenter: Professor, ATLAS Institute & Computer Science, University of Colorado Boulder

Abstract: Everyone can be creative because everyone has the ability to make things. Human beings are wonderfully intricate pieces of machinery. In the effort to understand human intelligence and creativity (cognition), or how people design everything (from their meals to furniture, house, or software programs), we build models and machines (physical, digital, and interactive) to attempt to explain and simulate, or to explore the boundaries of these ideas that are inside black boxes.  In this talk, Ellen will introduce projects from ACME Lab at the ATLAS Institute, an interdisciplinary institute for radical creativity and invention.  

Bio: Ellen Yi-Luen Do is a Professor of Computer Science and Director of Partnership and Innovation in the ATLAS Institute, at University of Colorado Boulder. She invents at the intersections of people, design and technology. She holds a PhD from Georgia Tech, a MDesS from the Harvard GSD and a BArch from NCKU in Taiwan. She has served on the faculties of University of Washington, Carnegie Mellon University and Georgia Tech, and co-director of the Keio-NUS CUTE Center in Singapore before joining CU Boulder in 2017.
