Charles is a PhD student in computer science. He completed his BS in computer science and his MS in machine learning from Georgia Tech. His research interests include rapid prototyping technologies, robotics, acoustics and time series sensor data machine learning, as well as wearable and object-embedded interfaces. 

Arianna is a PhD student in Computer Science. She completed her BS in Computer Engineering and her MS in Human-Computer Interaction from Georgia Tech. Her research focuses on designing interactive enrichment systems for long-term behavioral monitoring of zoo animals, as well as giving the animals more choice/control over their environment.

Annie is a 2nd year Human Computer Interaction Master's student working on the BEATS project as a UI/UX designer and researcher. She loves staring at all animals (even the scary ones) and also loves staring at Figma.

Christine is a second-year MS Human-Computer Interaction student exploring monitor lizard enrichment and behavior in a new lab project. A lifelong animal lover, she cares for a “mini zoo” at home, featuring a cat, two snakes, a blue-tongue skink, nine tarantulas, a centipede, and more!

Tristan Daniel is a 2nd year master's student majoring in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence. Tristan's research interests are concentrated in the user centered design of interfaces and the development of artificial intelligence. Currently, Tristan is investigating how ubiquitous computing can be utilized to promote welfare.

Shane is a graduate student at Georgia Tech with nine years of industry experience developing customer-facing software systems. His studies in Artificial Intelligence explore how data can deepen our understanding of nature and support more meaningful interactions between humans, animals, and technology.

I am interested in methods to recognize animal attention and behavior identification. Currently, I am working on enrichment for African Penguins.

Will is a cybersecurity professional translating ethical and privacy-preserving design to animal computing.
