UC San Diego Engineers Will Have Strong Showing at Trillion Sensors Summit in San Diego on Nov 12-13

Engineers from the University of California, San Diego are playing a big part in the Trillion Sensors Summit (TSensors Summit), which is coming to San Diego on Nov 12-13. The presentations from professors at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering will cover the hot topics of sensors for the quantified self, ubiquitous sensing in healthcare and wellness care, ubiquitous skin sensing and sweat-powered sensors.

According to the Trillion Sensors website, this event is geared to the following types of attendees:

• Key decision makers from industries planning to participate in, and benefit from, emerging global economic tides, such as the Internet of Everything, mHealth, Central Nervous System for the Earth and Context computing.

• Researchers from academia and industry involved in both related R&D and restructuring of academic curriculums to pave the way for emerging global tides and massive jobs retraining need they create.
• Government representatives involved in structuring funding of advanced technology programs and jobs creation initiatives.
• Analysts from the financial community tracking sensors, Internet of Everything, mHealth and TSensors initiatives.

Below are the UC San Diego participants in the Trillion Sensors summit. In addition, there will be a UC San Diego lab tour for select attendees on Friday Nov 14.
