Carnegie Mellon University

For those who are not physically here, if I forget, please flag me and I'll try to make the questions clear.

So the project that I'm going to talk about, the Synchronized Multisensor Integrated Learning Environment, is actually a conglomeration of a number of activities that we've had going on at CMU for the last four or five years.

So I am at the Silicon Valley campus.

which is located in NASA Ames Research Park.

We have about 400 students, more or less, depends on which semester you're talking about.

And of course, we don't have all of CMU here in Silicon Valley, we have a thin slice, and it's three departments, electrical and computer engineering, I'm affiliated with them, the Information Networking Institute, and the Integrated Innovation Institute.

So ECE in Silicon Valley is not all of ECE either.

We are a slice of that and the expertise among the faculty who are there are mostly in the realm of Internet of Things, wireless systems, sensing, privacy, security, things that are generally related to the Internet of Things as well as software engineering, obviously related as well.

We're developing an autonomous vehicle, a self-driving vehicle.

The technology that comprises our autonomous vehicle software came out of startups from MIT and Carnegie Mellon University, and those form the basis of our autonomous software.

Hyundai Motor Corporation provides the actual vehicle that we're going to be using to deliver our robotaxi service.

So just a couple of recent headlines that were announced.

You know, it's a really great question and one that I will have to bring you back to my university days.

So I was at Carnegie Mellon as a bioscience major, which I was failing royally by year two.

And what I've realized at that moment, there was an exam that really just kind of gave you guidance in terms of your personality, how do you match that to a career.

And while science was on the very bottom, what was on top was business, marketing, PR, communications.

There was more research.

Some researchers at Carnegie Mellon found that chronic psychological stress was associated with the body losing some of its ability to regulate inflammation.

So worry can also get in the way of your sleep.

Oh my gosh, how many times I have allowed worry to get in the way of my sleep over the course of my lifetime.

it on.

But yeah, but no, like, yeah, my only other experience with IMAX was, like, I don't remember if it was, like, the Carnegie Mellon one or if it was, like, I think in Charleston.

It was one or the other.

but yeah it was a similar thing where they would like show stuff like that but it was like an imax kind of like dinosaur documentary

She graduated from Mount Lebanon High School and then majored in theater at Carnegie Mellon University.

She first appeared on TV as a royal trumpeter on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, shortly before becoming the first Asian in a contract role in A Daytime Soap when she played Leigh-Anne Hughes on As the World Turns.

She's been in the films The Joy Luck Club, Hong Kong 97, Terminal Voyage, Street Fighter, where she was Chun-Li...

Yeah, indeed, Steve, we are very, very excited of the development, which we believe are a major step forward for realizing Skinjet as a novel therapy for for basal cell lesions manifesting in a rare autosomal dominant disease called Golan syndrome.

We started three years ago, as your viewers will remember, with their support and patience, where we took control of this distressed asset, which had a very a unique and novel biology and scientific outlook, but was a financially distressed company that we took control and began to advance these dissolvable microneedle arrays, tip-loaded with a chemotherapeutic agent that came out of Carnegie Mellon and University of Pittsburgh.

And yesterday we announced a contemplated spinoff at a pre-money value of $135 million where Skinjet will become a standalone company.

So we are very excited about this.

And I always try to, like, I'm friends with Ming-Na Wen, who...

Ming went to my high school, went to Carnegie Mellon for theater.

She had never been back to do it.

And I'm like, you gotta come back.
