Many devices in your car—cell phones, GPS, and MP3 players—can be distractions while driving. At this month's Eastside Science Café, UW Engineering professor Linda Ng Boyle will talk about how new technology can help distracted drivers and keep our roadways safer.
Dr. Linda Ng Boyle is an Associate Professor at the University of Washington in the College of Engineering. She recently returned to the Pacific Northwest after being away for 10 years. During that time, she was a professor at the University of Iowa and a research scientist at the US Department of Transportation.
