Abstract:
How do you go from nanotechnology to an engaged and informed citizenry? How does one use technology to revolutionize health care, energy efficiency and critical infrastructure management? The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), now in its 15th year, is pursuing cutting edge, interdisciplinary research in all of these areas. In this talk, we will describe highlights of our current research and discuss the opportunities that lie ahead.
