While Dan and Shuxing have worked on several project together, their collaboration’s with Kevin arose out of two different events.\u00a0 Kevin and Shuxing were both faculty members on the 2013 Wisconsin Idea Seminar<\/a>, a five-day traveling study tour that immerses forty UW\u2013Madison faculty, academic staff, and administrators in the educational, industrial, social, and political realities of Wisconsin.\u00a0 One the first night on the tour, Kevin and Shuxing were roommates together and discussed the similar research interests.\u00a0 Kevin and Dan first met when the Design Studies Department held a visit for the Theater Department on campus.\u00a0 This meeting showed that there was a great deal overlap in interests between all three faculty members.\u00a0 This was the genesis for the discussions that eventually become the proposed ALICE project.<\/p>\n ALICE early flying tests<\/p><\/div>\n The ALICE project is sponsored by the University of Wisconsin – Madison’s Interdisciplinary Research Competition. Funding for the Interdisciplinary Research Competition comes from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), which was created in 1925 to help commercialize technology arising from UW\u2013Madison research. Since then, WARF has provided the university with more than $1.36 billion for research, programs and initiatives.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Interested in finding out more about the work of the ALICE project?
