Did you know that UCSB is home to the largest Raspberry Pi?🥧 Last year, software giant Oracle donated a cluster of 1,050 Raspberry Pi 3iPB+ computers, the largest such assemblage ever built, to computer science professors Chandra Krintz and Rich Wolski.

Congrats to UCSB Computer Science Professor Chris Kruegel!

Not usually one to post personal pics, but let’s take a break from doomscrolling, yeah? Some joyful moments from the Plous Award Ceremony: Honored to give the lecture, receive the framed award & celebrate with the people who made it all possible! @bionicvisionlab.org @ucsantabarbara.bsky.social

Check out his talk, "Learning to See Again: Building a Smarter Bionic Eye," on Monday, April 14th, 4pm-6pm at Mosher Alumni House.💡 For more info click here: www.campuscalendar.ucsb.edu/event/beyele...

Life update: Excited to announce that I’ll be joining UCSB CS (@ucsb-cs.bsky.social) as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2025—where my research dream began! If you’re interested in PhD research (3+ openings) on multimodal, GenAI, or agents (embodied/digital), apply to UCSB CS by Dec 15!

How do visual prosthetics stack up in everyday life? 👁️🧠🧪 Our latest study reveals a significant gap between researcher expectations and the actual usage of bionic eyes by recipients: tvst.arvojournals.org/article.aspx... #BionicVision #NeuroTech #Blindness #Accessibility
