About this Event
Scholars are finding innovative ways to openly share projects, code, and software. But how does open source interplay with commercialization, technology transfer, and intellectual property considerations?
This virtual panel will:
- Explore specific open source projects like MIT's computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory's open-source simulator for autonomous vehicles;
- Introduce open hardware and how it might help technology transfer offices maximize the impact of academic research;
- Outline how Open Source Program Offices can serve as the organizational interface between researchers and technology transfer offices and create new forms of social impact.
Speakers:
- Alexander Amini, Postdoctoral researcher at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
- Julieta Arancio, Postdoctoral researcher at Drexel University and University of Bath
- Sayeed Choudhury, Director of the Open Source Program Office at Carnegie Mellon University
