The Future is Looking Up!: How to Sustainably Utilize Drones for Research and the Classroom (and anything else) (ONLINE)

Instructor: Chris Strasbaugh
Friday, September 27th // 12:00-4:30 PM EST

Registration capped at 40

Workshop Registration Form <http://vra.memberclicks.net/message2/link/08c428f1-d929-497a-b66d-e5087afb821f/5>

At its core, drones or UAS (uncrewed aerial systems) are a flying camera system providing a different perspective of a physical environment.  When combined with photogrammetry software and techniques they become powerful tools of preservation, analysis, and exploration.  This workshop will build from the ground up to explain the regulations behind UAS, the types of equipment and software that make up the ecosystem, and how you can utilize them for creating maps, 3d models, and full digital twins of cultural heritage sites.



Instructor Bio:
Always interested in harnessing emerging technology for research and in the classroom, Chris has had different positions at OSU that have pushed technology usage at the University. Currently he leads teams in the College of Engineering Technology services that support classroom and lab technology, software, instructional design, accessibility, and emerging technologies. He has also helped the Center for Aviation Studies develop and teach multiple courses on foundations of UAS and developed the beginnings of the Drone Lab that is supporting research across the University.

Chris is very active nationally in the field of UAS and emerging technologies and has presented at numerous conferences on topics ranging from the UAS technology, virtual reality, imaging technologies, GIS, semantic web, and makerspaces. He has also served as the staff photographer of the Greek-American Excavations at Kenchreai through Harvard University from 2015-2017, 2023-2024 as well as the Vanderbilt Excavations at Caesarea, Israel in 2019. Chris has a BA in Photography (2004) from Mount Vernon Nazarene University and an MA in Art History from the University of Cincinnati (2007).
