Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that Dr. Margrit Betke will deliver the
fourth spring lecture in the Women, Science and Society Seminar Series.
Dr. Betke will present a talk titled "Video-based Tracking for Human-
Computer Interaction and Conservation Biology," on May 10.
The presentation will take place in the Maxwell Dworkin Room 119, at
33 Oxford Street from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., with a reception to follow.
Dr. Betke will begin her discussion with ideas on improving the
status of women in computer science, and will continue with an
introduction to her image analysis research. Betke and her student
shave developed video-based interface systems that help children who
cannot speak to communicate. The systems have also been used to
study Brazilian free-tailed bats. Dr. Betke is an associate
professor in the Computer Science Department at Boston University.
She has been an outspoken advocate for women in computer science as
well as for young faculty.
