SUMMARY:University Lecture: Mark Stehlik\, University Teaching Professor of Computer Science
DESCRIPTION:Mark Stehlik\, University Teaching Professor of Computer Science and Director\, Computer Science Undergraduate Program\, at Carnegie Mellon University\, will be speaking at CMU-Q as part of the A. Nico Habermann Distinguished Lecture series. His lecture “A Teacher’s Life” will take place at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar. \nThe A. Nico Habermann Distinguished Lecture Series enables students to engage with prominent faculty and well-known leaders in the field of computer science. The lecture series is named after Professor A. Nico Habermann\, head of the computer science department between 1980 and 1988 and Founding Dean of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon. \nConfirm your attendance   \n  \nAbout the lecture:  \nFrom the time I was in second grade\, helping to “teach” my next door neighbor (newly arrived from Costa Rica) English\, I wanted to be a teacher.  This talk will share my journey from that moment\, through high school (number 2\, but I tried harder)\, to college (and an Erdos number of 3 and admission to CMU)\, to my failed attempt at a PhD\, but success as an emergency teacher\, to being the founding director of the CMU CS undergraduate program\, to being the first CMU University Teaching Professor.  The journey also includes two stints in Qatar (2006-08 and 2012-2015) which were incredibly important to me as an educator. \nBiography: \nI have been a member of the Carnegie Mellon faculty for over 40 years. In 2023\, I was the first teaching-track faculty member at Carnegie Mellon to be elevated to the rank of University Professor.  In addition to teaching\, I have been the Director of the Computer Science undergraduate program since its inception in 1988 and have advised and graduated approximately 4\,000 alumni over that period. I was Chief Reader of the College Board’s AP Computer Science examination in the late 1990’s and led a number of summer professional development workshops for high school teachers.  In particular\, working with Allan Fisher and Jane Margolis on the NSF-sponsored 6APT project at that time\, I helped the efforts to improve gender equity in our CS undergraduate program.  That work was highlighted in Allan and Jane’s “Unlocking the Clubhouse” book. \nI was an inaugural member of the ACM Ed Policy Committee\, and one of the co-authors of the 2010 “Running on Empty” paper on the Failure to Teach CS in High Schools.  I also taught at Carnegie Mellon’s campus in Doha\, Qatar where I spent 3 years (2012-2015) as Associate Dean for Education running the entire undergrad enterprise.  Upon my return to the Pittsburgh campus\, I was appointed Assistant Dean for Outreach\, and co-founded CMU’s CS Academy high school curriculum project.  That project’s online CS1 Intro to Python Programming curriculum featuring auto-graded\, interactive graphics has grown from 400 students in a 14-school pilot in Spring\, 2018 to more than 550\,000 students taught by over 15\,500 teachers in over 77\,000 classes in all 50 states and 68 countries as of Fall\, 2025.  It is also worth noting that roughly 50% of the U.S. schools using the curriculum are Title I schools.

SUMMARY:University Lecture: Knowledge stewardship in an age of disruption
DESCRIPTION:Masud Khokhar will be speaking at Carnegie Mellon University as part of the Gloriana St. Clair Distinguished Lecture in 21st Century Librarianship\, named in honor of the CMU dean of libraries emerita. Gloriana St. Clair led the transformation of Carnegie Mellon Libraries into the 21st century\, supporting and serving both CMU students and our research community. \nMasud Khokhar is the Chief Digital and Information Officer at the University of Leeds. \nAbout the lecture: In an era defined by geopolitical tensions\, rapid advances in generative artificial intelligence\, and an urgent global imperative to meet the Sustainable Development Goals\, libraries find themselves at a pivotal moment. As traditional repositories of information evolve into dynamic catalysts for change\, the role of Knowledge Stewardship has never been more critical. Libraries are ideally placed to reclaim authority over the full life cycle of knowledge\, from its generation and curation to its long-term preservation\, and embrace a proactive\, innovation-driven mindset. This renewed vision requires a bold shift: a commitment to creativity\, capacity-building\, and a culture of positive disruption. Libraries must embrace a more active role in the knowledge ecosystem – developing skills\, infrastructure\, and approaches to influence the knowledge agenda locally and globally. This talk calls on libraries and information professionals to move beyond custodianship and toward leadership\, ensuring that knowledge remains a tool for equity\, justice\, and sustainable future. \nPlease RSVP if you plan to attend.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Usable Privacy and Security in the Age of AI and the Internet of Things: An Engineering Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Norman Sadeh is a Professor in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). He co-founded and co-directs CMU’s Privacy Engineering Program\, and also co-founded and for ten years co-directed CMU’s PhD Program in Societal Computing. Dr. Sadeh’s privacy research has been credited with influencing the development of privacy-enhancing solutions at companies such as Apple\, Google and Facebook\, and results of his research have informed activities at regulatory agencies\, including the Federal Trade Commission and the California Office of the Attorney General. \nLecture Title:Usable Privacy and Security in the Age of AI and the Internet of Things: An Engineering Perspective \nAbstract: Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things are contributing to the collection and use of our data across ever more diverse scenarios. In the process they open the door to new privacy and security threats. Yet these technologies can also contribute to the development of solutions that help address these threats. Many of these threats have to do with the limitations we\, humans\, have when it comes to recognizing threats and protecting ourselves against them. This presentation will provide an overview of work in usable security and privacy over the past 15 years drawing on research conducted with my collaborators at Carnegie Mellon University. This will include our work on the development of privacy and security assistants\, our work on privacy and security nudging\, our work on semi-automated compliance analysis\, and our work on a privacy infrastructure for the internet of things and its deployment in smart cities. The presentation will briefly discuss my experience commercializing some of these technologies through a company I founded in 2008 and sold for $225M to Proofpoint in 2018. Finally\, I will also discuss how our research has been integrated into some of our education programs at CMU\, including our privacy engineering program\, and how it has influenced developments in both industry and government over the years. \n  \nConfirm your attendance
