McLean, Va. (June 8, 2022) – The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) will host a vibrant dialogue focused on artificial intelligence (AI) on Thursday, June 9, 2022, at 12 noon ET via Zoom.
“CEE’s program alumni are making a tremendous impact in this exciting field,” said Joann P. DiGennaro, CEE President. “I’m so proud of their accomplishments.”
Distinguished panelists are all alumni of CEE’s Research Science Institute.
Dr. Jessie Rosenberg (RSI ’01), Science Program Manager and AI Researcher at IBM, is an AI researcher with a background in optical and semiconductor physics. She received an AB in Physics from Bryn Mawr College and a PhD in Applied Physics from Caltech, where she studied the interactions between light and mechanical motion in nanoscale resonators. From there she joined IBM Watson Research Center, developing a CMOS technology platform combining optics and electronics on a single chip to enable scalable high bandwidth and low-cost optical systems for datacenter interconnects and beyond. At IBM Research Cambridge she is researching core AI algorithms, intuitive physics models, and quantum inspired AI.
Dr. Michael Mitzenmacher (RSI ’86) is the Thomas J. Watson, Sr. Professor of Computer Science at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He earned an AB in Mathematics and Computer Science at Harvard University. He received a PhD in computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. His research covers the design an analysis of randomized algorithms and processes. He has authored over one hundred conference and journal publications. He has served on dozens of program committees in computer science, information theory, and networks. He is on the editorial board of Internet Mathematics journal and was elected as an IEEE Fellow in 2019.
Shishir Mehrotra (RSI ’95) is Co-Founder and CEO of Coda. He previously served as Vice President of Product and Engineering, Youtube/Video at Google Inc. Mr. Mehrotra also served as a Director of Product Management for Google TV Ads and YouTube Ads at Google Inc. He previously served as CEO at Centrata, Inc. and held positions at Microsoft, the W3C, Taurus Telysys and the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. He is regarded as one of the most knowledgeable people in digital content and technology. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
This webinar is comprised of 45 minutes of panel discussion followed by 20 minutes of Q&A. The Honorable Clarine Nardi Riddle, Counsel, Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP, and a CEE Trustee, will serve as moderator. Through its network of research scientists and world-class presenters, CEE offers this program as part of a series to articulate recent advances in AI to non-experts while also meaningfully addressing core challenges for experienced computer scientists, software engineers, technologists, entrepreneurs, investors, business executives, public policymakers, and ethicists.

About the Center for Excellence in Education
CEE, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was founded in 1983 by the late Admiral H.G. Rickover and Joann P. DiGennaro, President of the Center. The Center’s mission is to nurture high school and university scholars to careers of excellence and leadership in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and to encourage collaboration between and among scientific and technological leaders in the global community. CEE sponsors the Research Science Institute (RSI), USA Biolympiad (USABO), Teacher Enrichment Program (TEP), and STEM Lyceums. CEE programs are provided cost-free to participating students and teachers. The Center works closely with educational institutions, private foundations, corporations, government agencies, and individuals. For more information, visit www.cee.org.
About Research Science Institute
CEE’s RSI is a summer science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program collaboratively sponsored with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that combines on-campus course work in scientific theory with off-campus work in science and technology research. Students conduct original, innovative research in state-of-the-art university laboratories, hospitals, and corporate research facilities. Students make oral and written presentations based on their research during the last week of the program. RSI is offered at no cost to all students competitively selected to attend.
