Our next visit will take place on Wednesday, July 27. We will visit Dr. Joshua Miele, who is an Associate Scientist at The Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute’s Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center in San Francisco. He has made major contributions to tactile map technology, auditory/haptic display research, audio/tactile graphics techniques and Braille technologies.
Josh is an alumnus of the University of California at Berkeley, where he received his BA in physics and his Ph.D. in psychoacoustics. He is also an active member of the Bay Area disabled community. In addition to his current position as Vice President on the LightHouse Board of Directors, he has served on the boards of both the Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program and the Ed Roberts Campus. He has also been a member of the City of Berkeley’s Commission on Disability and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Elderly and Disabled Advisory Committee.
