Engineer from Xerox’s research center in Webster, NY, will share her expertise with many of the nation’s most promising engineers

An expert in human computation, the study of how humans and machines can work together, at the Xerox Research Center in Webster was selected to participate in this year’s U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, an elite meeting of the nation’s most promising engineers.

An expert in human computation, the study of how humans and machines can work together, at the Xerox Research Center in Webster was selected to participate in this year’s U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, an elite meeting of the nation’s most promising engineers.

Sun is one of 85 engineers selected from across industry, academia and government by the National Academy of Engineering to participate in its annual symposium, scheduled for September 19-21, 2011, at Google headquarters in Mountain View, CA.

Before joining Xerox in 2008, Sun received a doctorate in computer science from George Washington University. She also holds a master’s degree in business administration from National Central University, and a bachelor’s degree from National Tsing-Hua University in Taiwan.

Sun holds eight U.S. patent applications in the areas of cloud security, dynamic pricing and federated marketplaces. She’s had articles published by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), The Workshop on Privacy In Electronic Society (WPES), Computational Economics Journal and the International Game Theory Review Journal.

At the symposium, she will participate in sessions examining additive manufacturing, the engineering of sustainable buildings, neuroprosthetics, and semantic processing.
