Her work focuses on developing textile-based sensors and actuat ors for physiological monitoring\, creating responsive wearables for healt h\, extreme environments\, and human performance such as anxiety-responsiv e clothing\, therapeutic smart gloves for pain management\, textile stretc h/strain sensors to track body positions\, and many others.\n\nJonathon Sc hofield\, PhD researches human integration with assistive devices. Collabo rating with clinicians and engineers at Shriners Children’s and UC Davis Health\, he combines clinical insights with engineering to address unmet needs in rehabilitation medicine\, biorobotic control\, and neural interfa ces\, advancing intelligent technologies ranging from prosthetics limbs to cooperative robots.\n\nKatia Vega\, PhD is an associate professor at the department of design at UC Davis\, leading the Interactive Organisms Lab. She pioneers the integration of cosmetics with electronics\, makeup with b iosensors\, and sustainable interfaces. Katia holds a PhD and master's deg rees in computer science from PUC-Rio (Brazil) and a bachelor's degree fro m UNMSM (Peru). She was a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT Media Lab and a re searcher at HKBU (Hong Kong).\n\nAlyssa Weakley\, PhD is a clinical neurop sychologist and assistant professor in the department of neurology at UC D avis School of Medicine. Alyssa’s research focuses on dementia\, cogniti ve rehabilitation\, and technology development and assessment. She has rec eived funding from multiple sources including the National Institutes of H ealth for her remote caregiving technology supporting at-home independence of older adults living alone with dementia.\n\nModerator\n\nKevin Boyd le ads the Exploratorium’s science writing team in developing exhibitions h ere at Pier 15 and for our partners worldwide. Since 2007\, he has worked on numerous biology exhibits\, including ¡Plantásticas! and Cells to Sel f. He studied microbiology at UC Santa Barbara\, and science writing at UC Santa Cruz.\n\nBldg: Exploratorium\, Pier 15\, (Embarcadero at Green Str eet)\, San Francisco\, California\, United States\, 94111 LOCATION:Bldg: Exploratorium\, Pier 15\, (Embarcadero at Green Street)\, S an Francisco\, California\, United States\, 94111 ORGANIZER:ieee.csueb@gmail.com SEQUENCE:7 SUMMARY:Exploratorium After Dark: See for Yourself Field Trip URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/474821 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Uncover the secrets of the cosmos: what ar e the green patches on Mars?
