Sai Sri Nidhi Munaganuru, from Hyderabad, India, anticipates completing her Ph.D. this summer from RIT’s mechanical and industrial engineering program. Her work extends the capability of carbon fiber technology through a new manufacturing approach that could eliminate high production costs, waste, and dependence on skilled labor.

Dr. Sonia Lopez Alarcon has been awarded a prestigious grant from the National Science Foundation's Expanding Capacity in Quantum Information Science and Engineering (ExpandQISE) program.

As the final phase of the new research building is completed, faculty-researchers from three of RIT’s colleges are preparing to be its first residents. They expect to move into the 39,000-square-foot building in the spring semester.

RIT researcher Blanca Lapizco-Encinas found new ways to identify those mutations faster. Resurrecting an older theoretical technique that can be used for analyzing pathogens that cause disease, her work could improve how clinicians develop more effective treatments.

WBNG News 12 highlights a partnership between RIT, Binghamton University, Cornell University, and Syracuse University which aims to create the “Upstate New York Energy Storage Engine."

WROC-TV interviews Associate Professor Parsian Katal Mohseni about RIT receiving $1.5 million in federal funding to get more semiconductor and microelectronics workers out into the world.

RIT has been awarded $3.97 million from the Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub (NORDTECH) to advance quantum chip technologies. The focus will be on scaling the power of quantum systems by entangling them across a photonic network.

While large-language models such as Chat GPT are sophisticated, there are still issues with performance because the system does not intuit the way a human can—yet.

The two-year project will explore the effectiveness of using an alternative, one-step ethylene production route which reduces the formation of unwanted by-products such as carbon dioxide as opposed to the multi-step process currently being used.

For the fall 2024 academic year, Gaborski has been appointed department head and will oversee a program that has expanded since it began to include more than 300 students in undergraduate, master’s and doctoral programs.

Faculty-researcher brings expertise in using engineering principles to bio-inspired technology solutions

The new engineering master’s degrees will serve to meet demands in increasing renewable energies, personalized healthcare technologies, and diagnostic system improvements. The project management MS allows students the ability to better specialize to their specific interests, giving them a competitive edge in their field of interest and making them more valuable to an employer.
