Talks and Media
Talks
I was interviewed by the INFORMS Resoundingly Human podcast about our work using Artificial Intelligence to design health interventions.
We gave a tutorial on multi-agent emergency response systems at IEEE SmartComp 2021. The videos of the talk are available on youtube.
I was one of the invited speakers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s workshop on emergency response. See the slides here.
I gave a talk at the Los Alamos National Lab’s Seminar Series on “Multi-Agent Systems for Emergency Response.” See the slides here.
I gave a tutorial on “Smart Emergency Response” at the NSF Doctoral Consortium on Computational Sustainability, 2020 (CompSust-DC) (Tutorial). See the talk here here.
I gave a talk on lessons and challenges learned while designing emergency response systems at the AAAI Fall Symposium 2020 - AI for Social Good. See the talk here.
I gave a talk at the Utah Center for Data Science’s Summer Series 2020 about robust machine learning models and smart emergency response. See the poster here, and listen to the talk here.
I gave a talk about how robust incident prediction can combat poaching at the Cambridge Environmental Data Science Group’s AI4ER Seminar Series. If you are interested in the intersection of data science and the environment, listen to the talk here.
