About
My name is Kendall Giles and I am a Collegiate Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech. I also teach in the Master of Information Technology program and the Master of Engineering program. Finally, I am a PhD student in the Department of Science, Technology, and Society in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. With a focus on public engagement I write and speak at the intersection of science, technology, and society, including the TechnoSlipstream Podcast.
Especially with developments in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science algorithms, technology seems like it is evolving so quickly that it is sometimes difficult to keep up. New devices allow us to work, live, and communicate differently–sometimes for the better, sometimes not. My goal is to help mediate, critique, and understand this sometimes confusing and increasingly tech-infused world in which we live.
