DMC Presents at the UNCW and Defense Alliance Science and Technology Forum
Zobair Shahadat, a Senior Full Stack Engineer at DMC, presents their biometrics open source solution.
A team from DMC traveled to Wilmington, N.C, presenting to Academic researchers, Department of Defense (DoD) representatives, and subject matter experts at the Science and Technology Forum held at the University of North Carolina’s Burney Center on Wednesday, May 4th, 2022.
Organized by the Defense Alliance of North Carolina, the event brought together industry, academia, and the military to discuss “Building the DoD Workforce for the 21st Century.”
“This was a great opportunity to bring a talented team down from Ashburn, Va. to present our mission and show the incredible work we do. I’m especially proud that we were able to highlight our investment in partnerships and the innovative technology we’ve developed with the U.S. Army and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),” said Matt Quinn, CEO of DMC.
With over 100 participants and speakers in attendance, the DMC team presented summaries of their university and student partnership programs, open source community contributions, next generation biometrics collection technology, and how computer vision is able to improve public safety.
“I quite enjoyed the interaction with this audience, on and off stage, and the opportunity to demonstrate some of our work. Be it our take on rethinking a biometrics data collection system or our analytic framework, both supporting the use of commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and software. In addition, it was rewarding to see one of our talented team members, Zobair Shahadat, present and demonstrate these technologies. Bringing together academia, industry and government is one of the best parts of my job, and I’m thankful for the invitation,” said Dr. Martial Michel, Chief Scientific Officer at DMC.
Additional speaker topics included Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Cyber Security, Geospatial, Ocean Science, Interdisciplinary Intelligence, Intelligent Systems, Biometrics, Human Performance, Sensors, and National Service National Security Innovation Network opportunities.
