 Thank you. Thank you, Kevin. I'm really delighted to be here to kick off this series. I'm honored to be the first one in the schedule. So Kevin's gonna keep me on track as far as the time goes because as I'm sure you can imagine, Citrus could expand to fill the time allotted to it. So I'll try to really keep it to the 10 minutes. I'm Camille Curtin and I'm deputy director of Citrus. I send apologies on behalf of our director, Costa Spanos, who had another engagement that we had to be called away to. But just before I start, I wonder how many of you know about Citrus already? Have you heard of Citrus, attended something? Oh, great, okay. So you all know at least some, you're somewhat familiar with Citrus and what we do. Well, I'm really happy to give you a brief overview and then as Kevin said, I'm happy to stick around and answer any questions. I'll give you the short overview and then try to highlight maybe just a couple of cases where we do some data intensive work that might be more relevant to some of the projects that you all are working on. So you probably know Citrus stands for the Center for IT Research in the Interest of Society. We were founded about 15 years ago, we're one of four such UC-wide institutes for science and innovation. So we're a multi-campus research unit. We're based here at UC Berkeley and to Tarja Dye Hall. But we also have strong affiliations with programs at Merced, at Santa Cruz and at UC Davis including the UC Davis Medical Center, which is also important for some of the data intensive work that we're doing. The mandate for our institute is to use information technology to address society-wide challenges. Some of the other institutes for science and innovation that you might know over be relevant to your work actually is a QB3 in quantitative biosciences. They have a presence here on the Berkeley campus. They're based at UCSF, affiliations here in the UC Santa Cruz. And then there are two other institutes for science and innovation in Southern California, CalIT2 at UC San Diego and Irvine. And CNSI, which is the Nanosciences Institute is based at Santa Barbara and UCLA. So you might come across those as a set of four institutes for science and innovation. So as I mentioned, we have affiliations at these four campuses. We have strong research programs that I'll talk about in just a minute, but we also try to have a positive impact on the California economy. And one of the ways that we do that is through sparking innovation and commercialization of ideas through our startups. And more than 50 startups have come out of our programs either through the Marvell Nano Lab, which is also part of Citrus and part of the Soutarja Dye Hall building, if you're ever in that building, as well as in our incubator program that called the Foundry, the Citrus Foundry, which I'll also talk more about. We get about $4 million in core funding from the office of the president. And from that, we try to help the faculty researchers and investigators raise outside funding. As I'm sure you're aware of this process, I'm going to NSF or NIH or other outside funders, whether those are federal agencies or corporations or foundations to raise funds to support their particular research programs. We have about 80 core faculty members here, both here on the Berkeley campus, as well as a handful on each of the other campuses. But if you look more broadly at the Citrus affiliated faculty members, the number reaches closer to 300 or so. So our current director, Costa Spanos, started about a year and a half ago. And so that gave us an opportunity as a almost 15 year organization to kind of reset, to look at what are some of the challenges that are facing us today and how might Citrus be able to offer some solutions or pursue a research program that would contribute in a positive way. So these are some of the things that we were considering. What kind of technology expertise do we have? Look at the inventory of research activities on the four campuses. What could we bring to bear to some of these challenges? Here are just a few of the challenges that we're facing that you all I'm sure are familiar with, these issues of urbanization. So more people moving into cities, globalization, climate change of course is a big one. These are some of the areas that we thought we might be able to have something, some positive impact on. And then looking at the solutions, what could we offer given the resources that we have? So we're looking at new platform technologies both in hardware, because we have the facilities to do that and the expertise to pursue those kind of research programs as well as the software and the applications that you all are also quite familiar with. Always thinking about this issue of privacy and security. And I know on the UC Berkeley campus also with the recent grant for the long-term cybersecurity, these issues always kind of rise to the top and we have a long history of trying to contribute to that research as well. So looking at these challenges considering what the possible solutions might be, we arrived at four new initiatives. And these are the ones that we will be pursuing in the next three to five years. Some of them are combinations or restructuring of previous initiatives and others are brand new. So the first in sustainable infrastructures brings together research in energy, water, transportation and the environment. We had had a couple of related research initiatives in the past on energy and water. We're bringing those together to think more about resilience and more about sustainability and the interconnection of those systems along with the cyber infrastructure that's necessary and so integral to a lot of the work that's happening in those fields. Connected communities is one that grows out of the initiative that I originally came to Citrus to join three years ago and that was in data and democracy. So the idea there is that we are building new apps and new technologies that are going to help communities come together and identify priorities and common experiences and to be able to convey those to policymakers and elected officials who are making decisions on their behalf. So with the new leadership of this initiative and Bjorn Hartman, we're also introducing a new element of device and that sort of hardware interaction because of his work in the invention lab and in the new Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation. We'll be bringing more of a design sensibility to that and include some of the hardware aspects of it as well. People and Robots is a new initiative led by faculty member Ken Goldberg. This is an area that we recognized where we had a lot of expertise but we didn't have it coalesced around a particular initiative. So we have people who are working not only in the industrial application of robots and the sort of mechanized entities that we think of typically as robotics but all other kinds of human machine interaction including artificial intelligence and machine learning type applications. So we're really excited to recognize the range of talent and interest and expertise in this area and to be able to support it through this people and robots initiative. And then finally in health we've always had a strong presence in health and health care through the affiliation with the UC Davis Medical Center and health this is another area that would be of common interest I think with perhaps some folks working at BIDS. We also wanna bring the aspect of data analytics to health care. So thinking about health not only for things like genomic analysis and precision medicine but also the consumer facing devices now for health and fitness and personalized medicine and the quantified self type movements those kinds of things that might integrate data with health and wellness. So that's just a quick overview. I have slides on each of these with a little bit more detail but I'm gonna skim a little bit just for the sake of time but again I would be happy to go back and talk with anyone about it. So here in the sustainable infrastructures initiative here are some of the projects that we'll be working on combining some of the building efficiency technology the water and sensor networks that are coming out of the work in the Sierra Nevada area transportation we work quite a bit with the Institute for Transportation Studies and trying to have good collaborations with them about the transportation network and how those also interact with energy and other systems. David Culler is the faculty director of that one so another person of common interest with both of our groups. Connected communities as I mentioned Bjorn Hartman is the faculty director so these are some of the areas that we'll be working on and I know that BIDS is also hosted people who have worked in open data, open platforms for government agencies and we at Citrus too have hosted a number of conferences on those topics as well so we'll continue with those interests as well as some of the other kind of participatory platforms and citizen science type applications in this initiative. So people and robots here's another sort of list of some of the topics in greater detail of the areas that we'll be working on. This is a really good example actually of our interaction with the other campuses as well because there's likewise strong representation at Davis Merced and Santa Cruz in the robotics fields. So for instance, at Davis they have a number of researchers working on robots as applied to agriculture both at Davis and Merced actually. Precision, this idea of precision agriculture how are we using sensor technology and those data streams in order to use water more wisely and just to be more efficient about agriculture and I think UC Santa Cruz is one of the only UC campuses that actually has a major in robotics so through their College of Engineering we're working with them on their robotics program. So here are a few of the areas that we're working on through this program. I should give a little bit of a commercial plug for Citrus Day that's coming up on October 13th. Mark your calendars if you haven't seen the notice already where we'll be featuring a few of the Citrus projects including one on deep learning and robotics. So I mentioned the health initiative and we've done quite a bit in telehealth so using telecommunications technology for providing healthcare in remote areas that might not have access to the quality of healthcare that's available in the more urban areas so using video conferencing and translation services between the Medical Center at UC Davis and elsewhere and more remote parts of California especially will be continuing that work as well. Thank you. So I'll move on from the research just to say a couple of words about our invention ecosystem because I want you all to be aware of this as well. We really welcome applications to the Foundry which is our incubator program. I think the deadline is coming up at the end of September. So we've had a number of teams go through the Foundry program now I think 16 altogether since it was launched about two and a half years ago. The Foundry program is a up to 12 month program where you get really hands-on mentoring for tech related companies. About 40% of them have been in the healthcare field and then the others have been in different fields but I'd be happy to tell you more about that as well. And then the invention lab is also a facility that we have as I mentioned for the device design and interactive design at Sioux Charter Die Hall. So I'll just flip through a couple of these other slides. Feel free to ask me about them later but you know about some of the energy efficiency work that we're doing in building automation. Some of the water monitoring that I mentioned. These are a couple of examples of perhaps data intensive pieces that would be of interest to your group. Thinking about water, all the things that are necessary and trying to collect and then visualize and make effective use of the data that's collected. And I talked about the Foundry. The 16 teams have been quite successful in raising outside funding based on the small amount of funding that Citrus invested in them to begin with and we're looking to try to scale out the Foundry model to the other Citrus campuses in the next year or so. So please come visit us in the invention lab. Here's our test list of test beds, et cetera. And I'll wrap it up there. Please come visit us at Sioux Charter Die Hall.
