Bios: Dr. Emilie Roth is the owner and principal scientist of Roth Cognitive Engineering. She is a cognitive psychologist by training and has over 30 years of experience in cognitive analysis and design in a variety of domains including nuclear power plant operations, railroad operations, military command and control, and healthcare. HADR Most recently she has participated in the design and evaluation of collaborative automated systems for planning and scheduling of air transport missions for the air force, which will form the basis of her talk today.

Dr. Pedro Rodriguez is the group supervisor and a senior machine learning researcher of Humanitarian Assistance for Disaster Relief (HADR) program at JHU Applied Physics Laboratory. HADR is a machine learning and artificial intelligence-enabled program to collect and process overhead imagery into categories for analysis. In partnership with the Department of Defense's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, HADR aids FEMA's recovery effort after hazards including Hurricane Florence, Dorian, and Laura. Pedro also leads various DoD projects bringing image processing and target recognition algorithms to the tactical edge.

Slides / Recordings / Other Materials: Slides and a recording will be shared after the webinar with all who register.
