Bio

Dr. Julie A. Adams is a Professor of Computer Science in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at Oregon State University. She is also the founder of the Human-Machine Teaming Laboratory at Vanderbilt University, prior to moving her laboratory to Oregon State. Dr. Adams has worked in the area of human-machine teaming for over twenty-five years. Throughout her career she has focused on human interaction with unmanned systems, but also focused on manned civilian and military aircraft at Honeywell, Inc. and commercial, consumer and industrial systems at the Eastman Kodak Company. Dr. Adams received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer and Information Sciences from the University of Pennsylvania and her B.S. in Computer Science and B.B.E. in Accounting from Siena College. She has over 125 referred publications and her research efforts have been featured in international news outlets including National Geographic, Scientific American Podcast, Der Spiegel, and BBC on-line.
