Researchers at RIT have improved the electronics used in communication and radar systems to better process signals using electromagnetic radio waves. This breakthrough could advance computing processes for technologies that need to handle signals quickly and efficiently.

High school students from the New Visions Engineering program at Greater Southern Tier BOCES visited RIT for an immersive, hands-on experience in cutting-edge engineering labs.

RIT is teaming up with Gallaudet University to prepare the next generation of artificial intelligence researchers and practitioners who will develop AI for everyone.

RIT researchers are zeroing in on quantum photonics, the creation, control, and detection of light. Photonics has long been a specialty of the university. RIT led the team that developed the first quantum photonic wafer, which is key to the future of mass-produced quantum communication systems.

Michael and Suzanne Pail met as engineering undergraduates during a first-year chemistry class. Since then, the two have kept a personal chemistry as engineers, business owners, and now shipmates sailing the ocean on Mira, their double-hull catamaran.

Robert Pearson helped make history when RIT began its microelectronic engineering program in the early 1980s. An RIT alumnus of the electrical engineering program and MicroE’s first faculty hire, Pearson reflected on some of that history—and his place in it—before retiring this summer after more than 40 years.

Techstination interviews Stefan Preble, professor in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering, and microsystems engineering Ph.D. student Vijay Sundaram about the network.

WHAM-TV speaks to Karl Hirschman, professor in the Department of Electrical and Microelectronic Engineering, and microsystems engineering Ph.D. student Sami Znati about the opportunities available in the semiconductor field.

The Associated Press speaks to Karl Hirschman, professor in the Department of Electrical and Microelectronic Engineering, microsystems engineering Ph.D. student Eli Powell, and microelectronic engineering student Matt Lynch about the opportunities and jobs associated with the semiconductor industry.

Tom Temin ’77 (photography) of the Federal News Network speaks to Clayton Turner '90 (electrical engineering) about Turner's new title at NASA.

Yan, an assistant professor of electrical engineering in RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering, is leading a research team developing advanced optimization models and methods to manage complexities of operating the modern electrical grid through quantum computing.

Nestled in the basement of the Student Alumni Union, the WITR radio station space is a treasure trove of music, personalities, and nostalgia. The station and the music have greatly evolved since its first broadcast in 1961, but one thing has remained constant: the tight-knit network of students and alumni.
