Johnny Chung Lee – Human Computer Interaction Research.

This guy is amazing. He is in the HCI lab at Carnegie and has invented a 40 dollar electronic white board (They normally cost around 1-2k) as well as steadycam using off the shelf controllers from the Wii.

e-Science: Computers as Science

 

Recent articles have pointed to the shift in the view of computer science from “creating tools for scientists” to actually creating the science itself. It’s about oceans, stars, cancer cells, proteins and networks of friends. Ken Birman, a computer science professor at Cornell University , says his discipline is on the way to becoming “the universal science,” a framework underpinning all others, including the social sciences. An extravagant claim from someone with a vested interest? The essence of Birman’s assertion is that computers have gone from being a tool serving science — basically an improvement on the slide rule and abacus — to being part of the science.
