Irrelevant
Joshua A. Miele,

Abstract: "I plan to use real
world examples and counterexamples to illustrate basic - but-critical - do's
and don’ts of the accessibility design process."
Biosketch: Joshua A.
Miele received BA (1992) and PhD (2003) degrees from the University of
California at Berkeley. From 2007 to 2019, he worked at the Smith-Kettlewell
Eye Research Institute as a principal investigator and as the associate
director of research and development. Josh also served as the president of the
board of directors for San Francisco’s LightHouse for the Blind and
Visually Impaired (2011–2015). Currently, he is an accessibility
researcher at Amazon Lab126, where he has contributed to projects such as
Braille compatibility with Fire tablets and a “Show and Tell” feature
on camera-enabled Echo devices that can identify pantry and food items. Josh's
goal is to create effective and affordable solutions to everyday problems blind
people face, particularly access to digital information. He received a
MacArthur Foundation Fellow Award in 2021.
