    Kit Needham, Director of Project Olympus, Carnegie Mellon University

    Kit Needham directs Project Olympus, Carnegie Mellon University's incubator that helps students, faculty and alums turn their ideas into viable businesses.

    Guest: Phil Koopman of Carnegie Mellon University on autonomous vehicle technologies; Congestion continues to plague US ports; Air freight sees ups and downs.

    Our guest in this week's episode is Phil Koopman, an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and an expert on autonomous vehicle technologies and safety. Koopman discusses the current state of autonomous technologies and how soon we might expect cars and trucks that can operate without a driver  on our nation's roads. He shares the limitations of the technologies and the important challenges that remain to be solved to fully automate vehicles.

    Things don't look to improve any time soon at our nation's ports. Ships continue to back up and products remain in holding patterns along their journeys to consumers. It looks like more of the same, as the expectations are that supply chain bottlenecks and delays will extend well into this year. Is there any end in sight?

    The air freight market has tried to absorb some of the capacity constraints caused by ocean delays, but there are limitations as to how effective those measures can be. We discuss the current state of air freight and whether conditions may improve in coming months.

    DC Velocity's sister publication CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly  has  a new 11-episode limited podcast series called Top 10 Supply Chain Threats. Each week, a different threat to our supply chains is discussed, including capacity constraints, labor shortages, inflation and economics, weather-related issues, component and product shortages, digitalization, automation, and much more.

    Stephen C. Datz: Western Landscape Painter - Ep. 84, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

    Stephen C. Datz: Western Landscape Painter - Ep. 84, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

    Steve Datz's second visit to the Art Dealer Diaries; on this special episode we discuss what it takes to be an artist and pull off a major art exhibit. Stephen's first interview (Epi. 43) delved into his backstory and what led him to pursue painting full-time. This time around, Stephen and Mark go in-depth about the lifestyle of the modern landscape painter. We hear about the choices that have to be made beyond the canvas to have a successful exhibition in a southwest gallery setting, and how being a "precisionist" can both help and hinder your art career. A great insight into the mind of an artist, and an episode you can't afford to miss.
