Karen Panetta, IEEE Fellow, NASA JOVE Fellow, AAIA Fellow is an electrical and
computer engineer, inventor and Dean of Graduate Education for the School of
Engineering at Tufts University. Her research areas include Artificial
Intelligence, Machine Learning, automated systems, simulation and visual sensing
systems. Karen develops signal and imaging processing algorithms, simulation
tools and embedded systems for applications for robot vision and biomedical
imaging applications. She has won a number of awards for excellence in research,
social impact, teaching and mentoring, ethics, and engineering education. She is
the recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Math and
Engineering Mentoring from U.S. President Barack Obama. She founded the "Nerd
Girls" program, which encourages young women to pursue engineering and
science. Karen is the editor-in-chief of IEEE WIE Magazine and co-author of the
book, "Count Girls In.” Her passion is utilizing her engineering knowledge for
the benefit of humanity. Karen has advised world leaders and led humanitarian
projects around the globe to change lives, help communities thrive and to
protect the environment.

RESEARCH AND HUMANITARIAN APPLICATIONS


HUMANITARIAN RESEARCH APPLICATION


KAREN CHANGING THE WORLD USING TECHNOLOGY

During her travels around the world, Karen has had the opportunity to see
firsthand the need for engineers to use their skills to benefit humanity,
especially for global social challenges facing women and children. Karen’s
commitment to "Doing The Right Thing” means that she takes on projects that may
be controversial and oftentimes, serve populations that have no financial means
or “voice” in society.  Karen’s work brings awareness to the plights of these
populations and a provides humanitarians with technology to better serve those
individuals we wish to help.

 RESEARCH APPLICATIONS


KAREN HELPS DOCTORS FIND CANCEROUS TUMORS, SECURITY SCREENERS FIND CONCEALED
WEAPONS, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES FIND CRIMINALS AND MISSING CHILDREN. SHE
DOES THIS BY DEVELOPING COMPUTER ALGORITHMS THAT ARE INSPIRED BY THE HUMAN
VISUAL SYSTEM, GIVING MACHINES THE ABILITY TO "SEE" THE WAY PEOPLE DO.



Imagine police officers have zeroed in on a suspect in a dark building and send
in a robot to scan for threats. Rather than transmitting back images that are
too dark and then waiting for them to be processed, the robot can use Karen’s
algorithms to figure out the best way to enhance the images in real time, so the
officers can quickly get the best visuals and see what’s important to them. Her
technology is helping to solve one of the biggest problems in computer vision --
how to enable computers to perceive and evaluate images like the human eye does
-- and it has all sorts of interesting and important applications for homeland
security, biomedicine, facial recognition, and search and rescue operations.
