Announcing "Espresso & Sensing", the monthly IRiS community research hour!

Join us for the inaugural IRiS monthly community research hour, titled “Espresso & Sensing” on Friday, November 7 from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM in 116 A&S Hall.

IRiS Ignite 2025 a success
With 26 talks, 22 posters and artworks, 3 plenary speakers, 2 musical performances, and a short film, IRiS Ignite was a resounding success! Thanks to everyone who joined us for 2 full days celebrating research, scholarship, and expression related to sensing and perception!

Sam Obafisoye
Electrical & Computer Engineering, Graduate Assistant
Sam work focuses on human-centered, trustworthy AI and automation, with particular attention to how people build and maintain trust in intelligent systems over time.

Drielly Queiroga
Biological Sciences, Postdoctoral Associate & Program Manager
Dr. Queiroga's research focuses on the ecology, behavior, and sensory biology of Neotropical arthropods, such as insects and spiders. Recently, she has been studying the evolution of color vision in Neotropical spiders.

Ming Tang
Architecture and Interior Design, Emerging Technologies & Partnerships Lead
Dr. Tang’s work focuses on developing immersive technologies for human perception, interaction, and behavior study toward the built environment. He leads the Extended Reality (XR) Lab and supports XR applications

Vesna Novak
Electrical & Computer Engineering
Dr. Novak's research explores biomedical applications of human-machine interaction. Her specific research topics include serious games, affective computing, rehabilitation robotics, wearable robotics, and human motion analysis.

Ali Minai
Electrical & Computer Engineering
Dr. Minai's research areas are AI, complex systems, computational neuroscience, and computational models of cognition, with a recent focus on natural language processing, human creativity, and bio-inspired models of place learning and navigation

Elizabeth Lanphier @ethicselizabeth.bsky.social
Ethics Center, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Ethics Lead
Dr. Lanphier focuses on biomedical and feminist ethics, shared and collective responsibility, and trauma-informed theory and practice. She is also affiliated with the Departments of Philosophy

Tony Chemero
Philosophy & Psychology, Interdisciplinary Research Lead
Dr. Chemero is a member of the Center for Cognition, Action, and Perception and the Strange Tools Research Lab. He focuses on questions related to nonlinear dynamical modeling, ecological psychology, complex systems

Elke Buschbeck
Biological Sciences, Working Group Lead
Dr. Buschbeck’s research focuses on the development and evolution of arthropod visual systems. Insights from her work have inspired engineers to design micro-cameras and night-vision gear that are fundamentally different from conventional models

Nathan Morehouse
Biological Sciences, Director
Dr. Morehouse's research group studies how animals see the world and make decisions based on what they can see about who to mate with, what to eat, and where to go. He is also interested in biomimicry and collaborations between science and the arts

Join us October 9–10 in Clifton Court Hall for the third IRiS Ignite: A Biennial Expo & Festival of Sensing, hosted by UC’s Institute for Research in Sensing (IRiS).

The Institute for Research in Sensing (IRiS) is a dynamic, interdisciplinary research institute focused on novel routes to innovation in sensing research and sensor technology development through purposeful integration of STEM and non-STEM perspectives #UniversityofCincinnati #STEM 1/3
