Kyla Mcmullen

Kyla McMullen is a tenure-track faculty member in the University of Florida's Computer & Information Sciences & Engineering Department. Her research interests are in the perception, application and development of 3D audio technologies. In this line of research, sounds are digitally filtered so that when they are played over headphones, the listener perceives the sound as being emitted from a specific location in their own physical space, much like surround sound over headphones. Dr. McMullen is using this research to create realistic virtual environments, enhance data sonification, augment assistive technologies for people with visual impairments and decrease the cognitive load in multimodal systems. She recently received the National Science Foundation's CAREER Award to further support this research. She earned a B.S. in computer science from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science and engineering from the University of Michigan.

Elizabeth Matthews

Elizabeth "Liz" A. Matthews is an assistant professor of computer science at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. She received a B.S. in computer science from Western Washington University, an M.S. in computer science from Clemson University and a Ph.D. in human-centered computing from the University of Florida.

June Jamrich Parsons

June Jamrich Parsons is an educator, digital book pioneer, co-author of Texty and McGuffey award-winning textbooks and a TAA fellow. She co-developed the first commercially successful multimedia, interactive digital textbook that established the standard for platforms now being developed by numerous educational publishers. In addition to authoring textbooks for Course Technology and Cengage, Dr. Parsons' career includes extensive classroom teaching and product design for eCourseware. She also served as a creative strategist for MediaTechnics Corp. and director of content for Veative Virtual Reality Labs. A member of the Association for Computing Machinery, she holds a Ph.D. in instructional technology and Certified Computing Professional certification.
