![]() ![]() The oldest post I can find for this blog is “From FermiLab Today: Tevatron is Done” at the End of 2011 (but I am not sure if that is the first post, just the oldest I could find.īut the origin goes back to 1985, Timothy Ferris Creation of the Universe PBS, November 20, 1985, available in different videos on YouTube The Atom Smashers, PBS Frontline November 25, 2008, centered at Fermilab, not available on Youtube and The Big Bang Machine, with Sir Brian Cox of U Manchester and the ATLAS project at the LHC at CERN. We have campuses in Pittsburgh, Qatar and Silicon Valley, and degree-granting programs around the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and Latin America. Our students are recruited by some of the world’s most innovative companies. ![]() We put a strong emphasis on creating things-from art to robots. Our award-winning faculty members are renowned for working closely with students to solve major scientific, technological and societal challenges. ![]() Today, we are a global leader bringing groundbreaking ideas to market and creating successful startup businesses. Please help promote STEM in your local schools.Ĭarnegie Mellon University (CMU) is a global research university with more than 12,000 students, 95,000 alumni, and 5,000 faculty and staff.ĬMU has been a birthplace of innovation since its founding in 1900. “If a social studies teacher in North Dakota can pull up EarthTime and say: ‘Here are 10 things that fit my lesson plan,’ that would be awesome.”įive-ways-keep-your-child-safe-school-shootings “We’ve hit the point now that we have so much data that we really need to look at how the public can better engage with it,” Dille said. You could have the fastest algorithm in the world, but if the system hard to use, you’ve failed from day one.”ĭille hopes to couple the fame EarthTime has built at the World Economic Forum and its early applications to Pittsburgh transit and housing issues to encourage more widespread local use of EarthTime in schools. And if it’s hard to use, or there’s 10 million ways to do something, the user is not going to want to use it. “But that part is going to be what connects the user to your product. “It’s interesting to me because it’s often the forgotten part and not done well by software developers,” he said. Illuminating issues such as air pollution, deforestation and trade, EarthTime has become a sought-after feature of the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.Īlthough Dille draws upon his childhood Lego hobby when building the machines that the CREATE Lab team take to Davos each year, he takes pride in developing the user interface. And now it’s become like a family to me.”ĭille’s adopted CMU family is well known among global thought leaders through EarthTime, a website that enables users to visualize the cumulative effects of local and global influences. He’d done a little bit of work here when he was a student. “My brother put me in touch with the lab. “I interned at CREATE Lab when I was in my junior year,” Dille said. Even if just one person’s life is better from something I’ve created, to me that’s something worthwhile.”ĭille, a senior software developer at CMU’s CREATE Lab, found the start to his substantive career path during his undergraduate studies. “I didn’t want to work on something where the end goal was to make money. “I always wanted to apply my skills to something that could benefit people,” he said. “We knew CMU quite well,” said Dille, who graduated in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in Information Systems from the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences.īut unlike many of his undergraduate peers who jetted off to Silicon Valley to seek their fortunes by founding promising tech startups, Dille had his eye on a more substantive career path. And his older brother earned three degrees at the prestigious Pittsburgh university known as a trailblazer in computing, engineering and artificial intelligence. But the native of Pittsburgh’s North Hills suburbs was always destined for the CREATE Lab at Carnegie Mellon University.ĭille’s mother worked as an auditor at Carnegie Mellon. As a Lego-loving child, Paul Dille had visions of being an architect. ![]()
