Researchers at CITRIS
Michael Mateas
I run the Expressive Intelligence Studio at UC Santa Cruz, where we explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, art and design. Our goal is to create compelling new forms of interactive art and entertainment that provide more deeply autonomous, generative and dynamic responses to interaction. A major thrust of this work is advanced AI for videogames, including autonomous characters and interactive storytelling.
Teenie Matlock
Teenie Matlock is Founding Faculty, Professor of Cognitive Science, and McClatchy Chair of Communications in the Cognitive and Information Sciences Program at University of California, Merced. She is also Affiliate Faculty in the Institute of Cognitive and Brain Sciences at UC Berkeley, and Senior Researcher at the International Institute of Computer Science. Her research is a combination of cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, and human-computer interaction.
Stephen Maurer
Stephen M. Maurer is Director of the Goldman School Project on Information Technology and Homeland Security (“ITHS”). ITHS serves as a focal point for the School’s science, innovation, technology initiatives. Maurer teaches and writes in the fields of homeland security, innovation policy, and the new economy.
From 1982 to 1996, Maurer practiced high technology and intellectual property litigation at leading law firms in Arizona and California.
Professor Nelson Max
Professor Max’s research interests are in the areas of scientific visualization, computer animation, and realistic computer graphics rendering. In visualization he works on molecular graphics, and volume and flow visualization, particularly on irregular finite element meshes. He has rendered realistic lighting effects in clouds, trees, and water waves, and has produced numerous computer animations, shown at the annual Siggraph conferences, and in Omnimax at the Fujitu Pavilions at Expo ’85 in Tsukuba Japan, and Expo ’90 in Osaka Japan.
Kara McCloskey
Associate Professor
UC Merced
Karen McDonald
Using the tools of genetic engineering, recombinant proteins can be produced using a variety of expression systems and hosts, including microbial, mammalian, insect, plant or algal cells grown in bioreactors as well as transgenic animals and plants. Our laboratory is developing novel expression systems (i.e.
Charlie McDowell
Charlie McDowell is a Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Mónica Medina
What are the real ecological effects of humans’ changes to the Earth – changes like ocean water pollution or global warning? One way to help find out is by studying the health of some very basic creatures such as corals.
Alan Meier
Alan Meier teaches core energy efficiency courses and supervises graduate student activities at EEC. Dr. Meier is also a Senior Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research has focused on understanding how people (and machines) use energy and the opportunities that exist for them (and technologies) to conserve.
Professor Barbara Mellers
In January 2011, Barbara Mellers was appointed as the 11th Penn Integrates Knowledge Professor. Mellers, a globally influential scholar of decision making, is the I. George Heyman University Professor. This appointment will is shared between the Department of Psychology in the School of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Marketing in The Wharton School.
Ali Mesbah
Assistant Professor
UC Berkeley Chemistry
William Mickelson
As executive director of COINS, I have been researching sensing technologies to enable real-time environmental monitoring applications. The goal of COINS is to develop and integrate cutting-edge nanotechnologies into a versatile platform with various ultra-sensitive, ultra-selective, self-powering, mobile, wirelessly communicating detection applications. The success of this mission requires new advances in nanodevices, from fundamental building blocks to enabling technologies to full device integration.
Burkhard Militzer
Burkhard Militzer was born 1970 in Dresden, Germany. He received a diploma in physics from the Humboldt University at Berlin in 1996, and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2000. After three years as post-doc at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, he worked for four years as associate staff member at the Geophysical Laboratory of Carnegie Institution of Washington. In 2007, he joined UC Berkeley.
Ethan Miller
Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Engineering, UC Santa Cruz
Jill Miller
Jill Miller is a visual artist who collaborates with individuals and communities in the form of public interventions, workshops, and installation art. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally, and collected in public institutions worldwide including CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo in Madrid and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
Michael Miller
Professor of Animal Science, UC Davis
Kevin Mitchell
My research addresses fundamental questions in nonlinear dynamics and its application to classical, semiclassical and quantum physics, especially to atomic physics. Nonlinear dynamics has historically played a fundamental role in explaining diverse and complex atomic processes, a role which in turn has stimulated numerous theoretical advances in classical and quantum chaos. This trend continues as advances in atomic and optical techniques provide an unprecedented level of control and precision for experimental studies of chaos in atomic systems.
Mike Modest
Born and raised in Germany, he completed his undergraduate degree at the Technical University of Munich. After he finished his Ph.D., Modest spent two years at NASA’S Johnson Space Center in Texas as a postdoctoral research associate. He returned to the Bay Area for a year after landing a lecturer position at San Francisco State University. After that, Modest held teaching positions at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York and the University of Southern California before he was offered a position at Penn State.
Megan Moodie
Research Interests
South Asian studies, feminist theory, reproductive and population politics, kinship, development, legal identities, tribal communities
Scott Moura
Clare and Hsieh Wen Shen Endowed Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering, Chair of Engineering Science, and Faculty Director of PATH, UC Berkeley
Louise Mozingo
Professor Mozingo received her Master in Landscape Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, and undergraduate degrees in Biology and Art History from the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia. A former associate and senior landscape architect for Sasaki Associates, Professor Mozingo joined the Department of Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning after a decade of professional practice, managing a range of master planning and design projects.
Mark Mueller
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, UC Berkeley
