WHAM-TV features students from the Rochester City School District as they gain hands-on experience at Chip Experience immersion.

The immersion, which allowed students to create their own microchip projects, provided full tuition for the week, a $500 stipend per student, housing, meals, and transportation.

Microsystems engineering Ph.D. student Evan Manfreda-Schulz ’20 (physics) accomplished something many academic researchers aim for when his first paper was published on the cover of Optica Quantum.

At RIT, robots are learning to read the room—especially rooms with humans. Improved communication between robots and people is part of the human-centered philosophy that anchors much of RIT’s work in robotics.

Since 2002, more than 1,200 students have gained valuable experience creating a multimedia production ensemble with RIT Sports Network.

The wireless spectrum has become very crowded real estate, and work is underway through a new technology research center to improve spectrum access, co-existence, and security. 

The recent total solar eclipse over Rochester provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on Earth for two faculty-researchers and their students to capture data about the effects of the sun’s energy during a total eclipse.

Patru’s authenticity and humor are as much a part of his classes as the informal conversations he has with students about mutual interests in space, music, art, and history. These qualities are only a few of the reasons he’s being honored with the Eisenhart Award for Outstanding Teaching.

RIT will be a contributing partner on a $4.5 million U.S. Department of Energy initiative to improve the operation of grid transmission and distribution systems, including how information about energy resources can be better transmitted securely.

NASA features Clayton Turner '90 (electrical engineering) in a talk about his career.

Engineering professor, Andres Kwasinski co-authors new book, “Resilience Engineering for Power and Communications Systems: Networked Infrastructure in Extreme Events” published by Cambridge University Press.

Bing Yan, an assistant professor of electrical engineering, is building a more coordinated system to manage different variables affecting grid energy generation, storage, transmission, and distribution—from extreme weather events to the addition of solar and wind power.
