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.

A Rochester and Finger Lakes region coalition that includes researchers from RIT has been named a finalist for the National Science Foundation’s Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines) program.

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.

Tech influencer Jacklyn Dallas, from the YouTube Channel NothingButTech, visited Imagine RIT as part of a partnership with the university. She shared glimpses of her day with her followers during her visit and recently published a more in-depth look at her experience.
