Integrating Public Interest Technology in Mechanical Engineering Education: an Interview with Tim Gutowski

Measuring Environmental Harm in Prison Landscapes: Geospatial Technology in the service of Grassroots Organizing with Ufuoma Ovienmhada
In my work, I aim to explore this transformative process through projects under the category of satellite Earth observation as well as in the area of microgravity research to apply that technology for sustainable development.
AI for Conservation and Community Building: an interview with Sara Beery, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
