About the Speaker
Dr. Bickmore is an Associate Professor in the College of Computer and Information Science at Northeastern University.

Prior to Northeastern, he spent two years as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Boston University School of Medicine. Dr. Bickmore received his Ph.D. from MIT, doing his dissertation work in the Media Lab studying emotional interactions between people and animated computer characters.
