What is SADE?: 

Dr. Williams is the executive director of Discovery Lab - Global (DLG) and will be presenting on DLG's Summer-at-Discovery's-Edge (SADE) program and the projects planned for this summer in Artificial Intelligence, Telepresence Robotics, Engineering of 3D Printed Drones, Virtual Reality, Wearable Technologies, and Cybersecurity. Discovery Lab - Global (DLG) grew out of an Air Force research internship program that Dr. Williams ran for 10 years as the founding director before retiring to continue it philosophically as an independent non-profit entrepreneurial STEM lab focused on giving college freshmen and sophomores early hands-on experience in a broad range of technology & engineering projects. DLG uses an open-source 3D virtual reality technology to create a 3D virtual summer research campus so that students can participate from home - even on the hardware electronics projects - as avatars. VR heads are not required for this program to participate. The program is flex-time / spare-time to allow students to participate around their other summer commitments such as family vacations, summer jobs, etc. These projects are team-centered and designed to be real-world to help further strengthen a student's resume and to help clarify future career goals. Dr. Williams is a retired Air Force officer, former Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) technical advisor, former DARPA program manager (www.DARPA.mil), and past recipient of the National Engineer of the Year award from an aerospace society of 35,000 members
