The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is pleased to announce another council member, Holly Yanco, has been appointed to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Information Science and Technology (ISAT) Study Group beginning in August 2024.
Yanco is very excited about joining the group and believes it’s a great opportunity to help vision new strategies that will be coming to computer science and robotics.
“I’m eager to work with a group of people who have knowledge in interesting areas that I haven’t explored,” Yanco said. “I’m excited to go out and learn about their process, which will enable me to see visioning from another perspective.”
Yanco’s expertise in human-robot interaction, evaluation metrics, methods for robot systems and the use of robots in K-12 education to broaden participation in computer science, will be crucial in DARPA’s efforts to shape the future of computing.
