January 25, 2019

Connective and machine learning technologies offer previously unimagined solutions to solve complex real-world challenges that impact real lives. Haiyan Zhang joined us at the Arm Research Summit to share her approach to embracing new skillsets in empathy and insight, processes and techniques for shedding light on the often irrational and messy inner workings of people. In her inspiring keynote talk, she shares stories of a number of individuals and families that she has worked with that highlight the process of seeking insight, and the importance of working across different technologies in order to craft new experiences.
