RIT ranked 69th overall in the nation for the best graduate engineering school based on statistical indicators that measure the quality of faculty, research, and students. The programs rose four spots from last year.

The computer engineering undergraduate has been focused on building workforce development security tools with Michael Zuzak, assistant professor, to develop workforce development security tools to help students prevent online exploits.

A faculty member who uses his business background of seeing technology go from concept to production and a graduating engineering student who enjoys helping others and wants to develop medical devices have been named this year’s RIT Alfred Davis Award winners.

Researchers who contributed to RIT receiving nearly $103 million in sponsored research awards during the past fiscal year, including 10 faculty members who reached or surpassed $1 million this past fiscal year, were inducted into the yearly classes of PI Millionaires.

The process combines virology and mechanobiology, two distinct areas of study that had not been explored at the same time but might prove to be a way to better understand disease progressions to intervene earlier and improve patient outcomes.

Jairo Diaz Amaya, assistant professor of chemical engineering was honored with a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Young Faculty Award for his work conducting fundamental research in the fabrication and self-assembly of colloids—key elements of soft matter.

Jake Coon has turned RIT men’s lacrosse into a national powerhouse. Coon, though, prefers to talk about the 15 classes of leaders he helped shape and the assistant coaches who worked with him to build a top-notch program. He has built a community that is there for his players long after they graduate.
