-==== Simon Ellis ==== 
- 
-Visiting Assistant Professor of Computer Science \\ \\ 
-[[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~sellis|Simon Ellis]] received his PhD in 2016 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, specialising in the application of cognitive computing to artificially intelligent agents for complex board, card and role-playing games. This remains the primary focus of his research, although he is also interested in "non-educational" computer games which permit learning as a 'side-effect' of playing the game: in particular, using such a game to help high school students to learn and understand basic computer science concepts without actively learning them. Some of his other interests include programming languages, software development, philosophy, and design, of A.I., and just about //anything// to do with games.

-[[https://www.cs.vassar.edu/~jgordon|Professor Gordon]] received his B.A. from Vassar College and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. Before returning to Vassar, he worked at the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute (ISI) as a postdoctoral researcher. His research interests are broadly in artificial intelligence and computational linguistics, with a focus on learning commonsense knowledge from text.+Professor Falcone's interests include Teleoperation, Human - Machine Interaction, Embodiment, Embodied Cognition, and Multimodality. She extensively published about the relation between the Sense of Embodiment (SoE) and Teleoperation in robotics and virtual/augmented/mixed reality. Particularly, during her PhD, she aimed to develop theoretical frameworks and methodologies that integrate multiple disciplines such as robotics, cognitive science, and neuroscience to improve the teleoperation experience by building a Sense of Embodiment (SoE) in humans. SoE refers to the process of developing a sense of ownership (feeling of self-attribution), a trustworthy sense of agency (feeling of control), and a sense of self-location (the perception of being located in a volume of space) over a remote avatar controlled through a teleoperation setup. She has a multidisciplinary background, and she strongly encourages interdisciplinary investigations and collaborations among departments.
  
 +==== Hannah (Anna) Gommerstadt =====
  
 +
 +Assistant Professor of Computer Science \\ \\ 
 +[[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~hgommerstadt|Hannah Gommerstadt]]'s research interests are at the intersection of programming languages and security, especially the use of language-based and logic-based methods to provide formal security guarantees. She received her Ph.D. and M.S. from Carnegie Mellon University and a B.A. from Harvard University. Prior to entering graduate school, Anna worked as a software engineer at Microsoft. Anna teaches CMPU145: Foundations of Computer Science and CMPU331: Compilers. 
 +
 +==== Prairie Rose Goodwin =====
 +
 +Assistant Professor of Computer Science \\ \\
 +Prairie Rose Goodwin is a usability expert who brings data science and quantitative analysis to questions formerly answered with qualitative data. She has published extensively on how to use the limits of human perception and cognition to make better tools and increase productivity in developer workflows. As a developer in industry, her work focused on transformative technologies like the rise of smartphones and the data everywhere framework that enabled IoT applications. She has owned her own business and worked in small start-ups all the way up to billion-dollar companies. Recently, she decided to switch her focus from building software for profit to training the next generation of developers by returning to academia. Technology continues to transform our world and how we interact with it, and Prairie Rose stresses that technology has to be designed around how people actually use technology rather than how we wished they would use it.
