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.

Quantum Zeitgeist features research by Sonia Lopez Alarcon and Cory Merkel, associate professors in RIT's Department of Computer Engineering, and Mark Danza '25 MS (computer engineering).

TechTarget speaks to Paloma Hamilton, fifth-year mechanical engineering student; Geoff Twardokus, electrical and computer engineering Ph.D. student; and Christopher Collison, director of RIT's AI Hub and Initiatives, about the innovative developments featured at Imagine RIT.

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.

RIT engineering professor Cory Merkel was one of more than a dozen researchers in neuromorphic computing contributing findings published on Jan. 22 in Nature.

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.

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.

Researchers at RIT are creating a novel sensor system based on the superior design and detection range found on harbor seal whiskers.

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.

Blocks and Files talks to Amlan Ganguly, department head, Department of Computer Engineering, about his research on DNA-based computing platforms.

An engineering researcher at RIT has discovered the means to process data using DNA. Amlan Ganguly, computer engineering department head in RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering, and researchers at the University of Minnesota, designed a microfluidic integrated circuit to perform complex operations through artificial neural network computations on data stored in DNA.
