Randall Hill Discusses ICT Innovations
May 22, 2009 10:03 AM
Randall W. Hill Jr., executive director of the USC Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) met with congressional staff in the offices of Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Christopher Bond (R-Mo.), James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Tom Cole (R-Okla.) and the House Armed Services Committee about defense research on May 4 and 5. Hill discussed expanding the use of several ICT-developed applications, including virtual reality therapy for treating post-traumatic stress disorder, virtual patients designed to help train clinicians identify mental health disorders and interactive programs to improve leadership and critical thinking skills for military personnel. “Leaders in Congress are interested in seeing discoveries in the computer and social sciences being effectively transitioned to have a positive impact,” Hill said. “It is very satisfying to be able to share with them the many ways interdisciplinary research coming out of USC is being used to benefit not just our servicemen and women but society at large.”TAGS: research
