Dr. Nicholas A. Giudice, III.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>My <\/strong>CV<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Brief Bio<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am a Professor at the University of Maine, Chief Research Scientist at VEMI Lab, Chief Research Officer at UNAR Labs, & various other things depending on the day, my mood, & who you ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I did my undergraduate training in Psychology\/Philosophy at Providence College, Rhode Island, received my Ph.D. in the Cognitive and Braine Sciences psychology program from the University of Minnesota, and did my postdoc in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I started at the University of Maine in 2008 and am currently Professor of Spatial Computing in the School of Computing and Information Science. I was the founder (2009), Director (2009-2019), and am currently Chief Research Scientist (2020-present) of the Virtual Environments and Multimodal Interaction (VEMI) Laboratory. VEMI is a student-focused, hands-on research, education, and training facility that was built, directed, and operated as a joint labor of love with my friend and colleague, Dr. Richard Corey (VEMI\u2019s current director). For more information about VEMI, our students, our projects, and affiliated collaborators, please explore VEMI\u2019s general website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the current page (and its subpages) relates to my work at VEMI and include many substantive contributions of its members (current and past), as well as by other collaborators around the world, the focus here is specifically on my personal views on research, science, philosophy, and other topics. As such, this content and the opinions and positions advanced are not necessarily those of VEMI, my collaborators, 91¸£Àû, or anybody else other than myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n please check out the following links to learn more about me.
