Faces of Photonics: CEO of Datalytica Dr. Misty Blowers
The CEO of Datalytica LLC hopes to make the world a better place through technology
Many would say she's already accomplished this. In 2018, Dr. Blowers was awarded the SPIE Early Career Achievement Award for her dedication to advancing applied machine-learning solutions to help solve real-world problems. Her commitment to the field also shines through in her multiple years serving on SPIE conference committees at SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing (DCS), and her 2016 publication of Evolution of Cyber Operations and Technologies to 2035 (Springer) which she discusses in this interview on Photonics for a Better World.
1. Describe a memorable moment from an SPIE conference.
SPIE supported an idea I had for a conference to bring in student speakers to talk about what they believed the next disruptive technology will be that will change the world. The students did a fantastic job and provoked discussions across a global community of experts. This is happening again this year at SPIE DCS in Baltimore!
OH, SNAP!: Blowers poses with a crocodile at SPIE DCS 2017.
