    <h3>Ph.D. Proposal</h3>
    <h2>ACCESS: An Assistive Contactless Capacitive<br>Electrostatic Sensing System</h2>
    <h3>Alexander Nelson</h3>
    <h3>12:00pm Friday, 21 August 2015, ITE 325b</h3>
    <p>The objective of ACCESS is to develop fabric capacitor sensor arrays as a holistic, wearable, touchless sensing solution. The fabric sensors are lightweight, flexible, and can therefore be integrated into items of everyday use. Further, the capacitive sensing hardware is low-power, unobtrusive, and easily maintainable. The research includes: the construction of fabric sensor prototypes and custom sensing hardware; the development of adaptive signal processing and gesture recognition; and the creation of an assistive cyber-physical interface for mobility impairment. The research is conducted with advisement from medical professionals and private consultants, and evaluated in clinical trials by individuals with upper-extremity mobility impairment. Proposed future work includes evaluation of the assistive device for computational overhead, the inclusion of personal contextual information in gesture recognition and device actuation, and investigation of a dense spatial-resolution capacitor sensor array as a low-resolution greyscale imaging system.</p>
    <p>Committee: Drs. Nilanjan Banerjee and Ryan Robucci (Chairs), Chintan Patel, Sandy McCombe-Waller (UMB Medical School)</p>

<Title>Honoring the Life and Legacy of Louis Stokes: Champion</Title>

    <div><strong><em>In memory of Louis Stokes: February 23, 1925 - August 18, 2015</em></strong></div>
    <div><br></div>The LSAMP programs at the National Science Foundation are named after former Congressman Louis Stokes. Louis Stokes passed away this week. UMBC is part of two LSAMP programs for the University System of Maryland: the LSAMP program for undergraduate students (part of the Meyerhoff Scholors program) with the University of Maryland College Park and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and the LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate program with College Park. <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>NSF Program Director for LSAMP, Dr. Tasha Inniss shared these words:</div>

    <p><span><em>Dear LSAMP Community:</em></span></p>
    <p><span><em>I am sure many of you have already heard about the great loss we have all experienced with the passing of Congressman Louis Stokes on Tuesday, August 18th. He was a true champion of students of color in STEM. This is the reason why the national Alliances for Minority Participation program was renamed in his honor in 1999, the year he retired from Congress. The legacy of his tremendous impact will be long-lasting. Here is one of the stories featuring him in the USA Today:</em></span></p>

<Title>LLC Representatives Needed for GSA Senate and LLC GSO</Title>
<Tagline>An invitation for new and current LLC students!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <h5><br></h5>
    <h5>Two LLC Representatives Needed for the UMBC Graduate Student Association (GSA) Senate and officers needed for the LLC Graduate Student Organization (GSO)</h5>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>GSA - Senate</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>UMBC's Graduate Student Association (<a href="http://www.umbc.edu/gsa">www.umbc.edu/gsa</a>) allocates up to $2,500 in research support to all students during the course of their graduate education. However, this money is only available to graduate programs with active student representation in the GSA. So we MUST have a representative at every meeting. It has been customary that two LLC students share this position. Last year, Uzma Rashid attended monthly Senate meetings, which usually occur from 5-7 p.m on the first Monday of the month during the fall &amp; spring semesters.</div>
    <div>We kindly ask the collaboration from two new or current students to become LLC representatives in the GSO senate!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>LLC GSO</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Also, we would like to let current and incoming LLC students know that we are inviting everyone to be active members of the GSO. We must have an executive board to receive the GSA money for the organization.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The outgoing LLC GSO Executive Board would like to invite everyone to consider joining the Board. Our past president, Dr. Uzma Rashid has graduated. The remaining members of the 2014-2015 executive board have expressed their desire to continuing serving as GSO officers. <u>However, if there is more than one person interested in becoming an office-bearer for the same position, we will hold elections for those positions</u>.   </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div> </div>
    <div><span><em><u>Nominations to date for the 2015-2016 Executive Board: </u></em></span></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>President: Felix Burgos</div>
    <div>Vice-President: May Chung</div>
    <div>Treasurer: Erin Berry</div>
    <div>Secretary: (open)</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please contact Felix Burgos (<a href="mailto:fburgos1@umbc.edu">fburgos1@umbc.edu</a>) for details and to volunteer to be a GSA Senator or to nominate yourself or someone else for the GSO Board!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Thank you!</div>
