Stephen Miles Uzzo, Ph.D.
 Director of Technology
As chief technologist for the Hall of Science Stephen Uzzo implemented a number of network projects, including a mesh wireless system for Virtual Visits and a secure virtual private network. He also worked on the development team for “Connections: the Nature of Networks” a public exhibition on network science, as well as hosting the 2007 International Conference and Workshop on Network Science. Dr. Uzzo also serves on the graduate faculty of the New York Institute of Technology. Previously, he worked for the NYIT Computer Graphics, Video Center and Interactive Technologies research laboratories, developing computer graphic and digital video compression systems, robotic systems and distance learning programs. Other projects he participated in include the launch of MTV, determining best broadcast practices for the Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, and one of the first all digital television transmissions via satellite. He has also led engineering teams for numerous large-scale media production systems and satellite networks. As part of a team of scientists and engineers at Princeton's Space Studies Institute, Dr. Uzzo worked to develop and test lunar teleoperation simulators. His work on projects important to conservation includes ecosystems studies that were instrumental in blocking offshore oil drilling in New York waters and a cross sound bridge in Oyster Bay, as well as cleanup planning for superfund sites. He has worked on preservation and open space projects on Long Island and the San Francisco Bay Peninsula.
