SUMMARY:[Hybrid Event] Blue Sky Innovations Future of Emerging Tech Open Ho
 use
DESCRIPTION:"What's Next" in emerging technology?\nLearn about our research
  and work in robotics\, volumetric capture\, and more. \n\nJoin Blue Sky I
 nnovations' Chief Innovation Officer Steven King\, Vivek Sahukar (AI Resea
 rcher)\, and Bhargav Bompalli (Computer Vision Engineer) for a 30-minute p
 resentation addressing the future of emerging tech.\n\nMeet us in the Meta
 verse through Spatial\, or at the Reese Lab (142 East Franklin Street). \n
 Click Here for Access to the Metaverse Space\n\nFollowing the talk\, the L
 ab will be open for in-person tours from 1:30-3:00 pm.\n\n\n\nSteven King\
 nChief Innovation Officer\nSteven King is the chief innovation officer for
  UNC Blue Sky Innovations and an associate professor at the UNC School of 
 Media and Journalism and a former editor of innovations and former directo
 r of video at The Washington Post.\n\nKing combines computer science conce
 pts\, human-centered design and storytelling to create new ways to present
  information through emerging technologies such as virtual reality\, augme
 nted reality and interactive data-driven graphics.\n\n\n\n\nVivek Sahukar\
 nAI Researcher\nVivek is an AI Researcher at UNC Blue Sky Innovations and 
 joined the team in March 2022. \n\nHe is currently working on the robotic 
 arm to perform tasks autonomously using deep learning and reinforcement le
 arning. He has an MS in Data Science from Duke University and an MBA from 
 IIM Lucknow\, India.\n\nIn his spare time\, he plays tennis\, does yoga an
 d meditation\, and loves to cook new recipes in his kitchen.\n\n\n\n\nBhar
 gav Bompalli\nComputer Vision Engineer\nBhargav is a computer vision engin
 eer at UNC Blue Sky Innovations. He completed both his undergraduate and g
 raduate degree in biomedical engineering at the University of Guelph in On
 tario\, Canada. His research focused on applying deep learning techniques 
 for automatic segmentation and classification of medical images\, specific
 ally\, abdominal CT scans of canines.\n\nAt UNC Blue Sky Innovations\, he 
 focuses his research on applying computer vision techniques for 3-D human 
 model generation using volumetric capture.
