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.

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.

This fall, alumnus Purab Sutradhar '24 (Electrical and Computer Engineering Ph.D.) will join the department of electrical and computer engineering at Boise State University as a tenure-track assistant professor.

Dr. Mohammad Javad Khojasteh joins the department of electrical and microelectronic engineering as Gleason Endowed Assistant Professor.

Sathwika Bavikadi joins the department of computer engineering as an assistant professor.

RIT cybersecurity researchers are preparing connected vehicle networks for the next stage of cybersecurity—the post-quantum era. The team, in RIT’s ESL Global Cybersecurity Institute, is highlighting how current cryptographic methods are vulnerable to attacks enabled by emerging quantum computers.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

Cory Merkel, assistant professor of computer engineering at RIT, will represent the university as one of five collegiate partners in the new Center of Neuromorphic Computing under Extreme Environments, also referred to as CONCRETE.

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.
