White House Highlights STEM Innovators in the Disability 
Community as "Champions of Change"

WASHINGTON, DC - On Monday, May 7th, the White House will honor 
14 individuals as Champions of Change for leading the fields of 
science, technology, engineering, and math for people with 
disabilities in education and employment.

"STEM is vital to America's future in education and employment, 
so equal access for people with disabilities is imperative, as 
they can contribute to and benefit from STEM," said Kareem Dale, 
Special Assistant to the President for Disability Policy.  "The 
leaders we've selected as Champions of Change are proving that 
when the playing field is level, people with disabilities can 
excel in STEM, develop new products, create scientific 
inventions, open successful businesses, and contribute equally to 
the economic and educational future of our country."

The Champions of Change program was created as a part of 
President Obama's Winning the Future initiative.  Each week, a 
different sector is highlighted and groups of Champions, ranging 
from educators to entrepreneurs to community leaders, are 
recognized for the work they are doing to serve and strengthen 
their communities.

As a professional and a parent, Virginia Stern has been working 
for more than four decades to raise expectations of persons with 
disabilities, their families, educators, and employers, 
especially employers in science, technology, engineering, and 
mathematics (STEM).  Since 1977 she was a guiding force of the 
Project on Science, Technology and Disability of the American 
Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).  She 
recognized that talented students with disabilities needed more 
than legislation and STEM degrees to gain employment in their 
chosen fields.  In 1996 Mrs.  Stern and her colleagues developed 
the flagship program, Entry Point!, to provide paid internships 
and develop career skills in the private and public sectors for 
students with disabilities in STEM.  Hundreds of Entry Point! 
alumni have joined and continue to advance in the STEM workforce 
of the nation.

As a child in the New York Institute for the Education of the 
Blind in 1949, John Boyer found that contemporary scientific 
material in braille was almost non-existent.  John has never lost 
the sense of frustration he felt when the braille resources 
available to him were insufficient to satisfy his hunger for more 
science education.  John believes that is the motive for his 
life's work.  He obtained a master's degree in Computer science, 
with a minor in electronics engineering at the University of 
Wisconsin in 1980.  His first company was a Braille publishing 
enterprise which served an international client base.  
Abilitiessoft, Inc., his current company, creates open source 
adaptive software which makes Web pages available to blind 
persons through a Braille display.  The current project, 
BrailleBlaster, will allow the integration of text with Braille 
graphics such as maps and graphs into a format accessible to 
blind people.

Dr.  Dimitri Kanevsky is a Research staff member in the Speech 
and Language Algorithms Department at the IBM T.J.Watson Research 
Center.  Prior to joining IBM, he worked at a number of 
prestigious centers for higher mathematics, including the Max 
Planck Institute in Germany and the Institute for Advanced 
Studies in Princeton, New Jersey.  In 1979, he invented a 
multi-channel vibration based hearing aid, and founded a company 
to produce and market this device.  He also developed the first 
uses for speech recognition as a communication aid for deaf users 
over the telephone, for which he received an award from the 
National Search for Computing Applications from John Hopkins to 
Assist Persons with Disabilities.  In 1998 Dr.  Kanevsky 
introduced the first remote transcription stenographic services 
over the Internet, and created the ViaScribe product speech 
recognition concept and system that allows automatic 
transcription of lectures in real-time and the creation of 
multimedia notes.  At IBM he has been responsible for developing 
the first Russian automatic speech recognition system, as well as 
key projects for embedding speech recognition in automobiles and 
broadcast transcription systems.  He currently holds 152 US 
patents and was granted the title of Master Inventor IBM in 2002 
, 2005 and 2010.  His conversational biometrics based security 
patent was recognized by MIT, Technology Review Magazine, as one 
of five most influential patents for 2003.  His work on Extended 
Baum-Welch algorithm in speech, another initiative for embedding 
speech recognition in automobiles and his work on conversational 
biometrics was recognized as science accomplishment  in 2002 , 
2004 and 2008 by the Director of Research at IBM .  In 2005 
Dimitri Kanevsky received an Honorary degree (Doctor of Laws, 
honoris causa) from the University College of Cape Breton.  He 
was elected a member  of  the Word Technology Network in 2004 and 
was a Chairperson of IT Software Technology session at Word 
Technology Network Summit 2005 in San-Francisco, Calif.  He also 
organized a special session on Large Scale Optimization at ICASSP 
2012 in Japan.

Henry Wedler is a graduate student at the University of 
California, Davis, working towards his Ph.D.  in organic 
chemistry.  Inspired by programs offered by the National 
Federation of the Blind in high school and with encouragement 
from professors, colleagues and others, Henry gained the 
confidence to challenge and refute the mistaken belief that STEM 
fields are too visual and, therefore, impractical for blind 
people.  Henry is not only following his own passion; he is 
working hard to develop the next generation of scientists by 
founding and teaching at an annual chemistry camp for blind and 
low-vision high school students.  Chemistry Camp demonstrates to 
these students, by example and through practice, that their lack 
of eyesight should not hold them back from pursuing their dreams.  
Henry was nominated by Douglas Sprei of Learning Ally, a 
nonprofit that produces accessible audio textbooks for blind and 
learning disabled students, which is an indispensable resource 
that allowed him to excel in school.

Sina Bahram is a PhD student in the Department of Computer 
Science at North Carolina State University.  His field of 
research is Human Computer Interaction (HCI).  Sina's primary 
interest is the dynamic translation of interfaces, with an 
emphasis on innovative environments being used by persons with 
visual impairment (PWVI) to facilitate learning, independence, 
and exploration.  His other research interests focus on using AI 
inspired techniques to solve real-world user-centric problems.  
When he is not busy with his academic pursuits, Sina enjoys 
staying on the bleeding edge of technology and working with 
small, high-tech startup companies.  Sina's passion for his field 
originally stems from the fact that he is mostly blind and uses 
assistive technologies such as a screen reader to navigate 
computer systems and technological devices.  After experimenting 
in the fields of bioinformatics, privacy policy/law, and systems 
security, Sina discovered that his heart lies in helping users of 
all capabilities use computer systems more effectively and 
efficiently.  He has worked in HCI full-time ever since.
