His thesis research explores the potential to optimize and democratize machine learning by enabling responsible and efficient collaborative intelligence between edge devices (like phones or sensors) without having to rely on centralized compute. He has worked with many open source frameworks within deep learning and network simulation. His research necessitated him to co-create NSB, a network and systems co-simulation tool, giving him the opportunity to participate in the NSF I-Corps training program as part of a NSF POSE award. Hari has also been a pedagogy fellow tasked to explore, develop, and teach active learning techniques and universal design principles to address gaps in higher education. In both his teaching and research, Hari is motivated by a belief that both technology and education should be sustainable, equitable, and democratized. ::: diff --git a/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/hao-he.jpg b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/hao-he.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d3931065 Binary files /dev/null and b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/hao-he.jpg differ diff --git a/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/harikrishna-kuttivelil.jpg b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/harikrishna-kuttivelil.jpg index 088ca708..5983b22a 100644 Binary files a/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/harikrishna-kuttivelil.jpg and b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/harikrishna-kuttivelil.jpg differ diff --git a/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/joel-kehle.jpg b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/joel-kehle.jpg index ff21eadb..c3482e71 100644 Binary files a/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/joel-kehle.jpg and b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/joel-kehle.jpg differ diff --git a/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/laisi-ma.jpeg b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/laisi-ma.jpeg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..1455ee1f Binary files /dev/null and b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/laisi-ma.jpeg differ diff --git a/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/leilani-gilpin.jpg b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/leilani-gilpin.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..46854775 Binary files /dev/null and b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/leilani-gilpin.jpg differ diff --git a/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/marit-macarthur.jpg b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/marit-macarthur.jpg index 9398dc6e..b0b5b5bd 100644 Binary files a/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/marit-macarthur.jpg and b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/marit-macarthur.jpg differ diff --git a/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/tara-hernandez.jpeg b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/tara-hernandez.jpeg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..22d4f912 Binary files /dev/null and b/events/uc-open-2026/talks/speaker-headshots/tara-hernandez.jpeg differ
