An RIT alumnus received a Fulbright U.S. Student Program award in computer engineering to help drones assist with search and rescue operations in difficult terrain such as dense forests or steep mountains where GPS might not be reliable. Andrew Ramsey ’18 (computer engineering), ’18 MS (computer engineering) will conduct research at Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt as part of a project to research innovative ways to determine the location of a drone in a low-cost and reliable manner.

Andreas Savakis, a professor of computer engineering, is developing the technology for improved visual tracking system that can more accurately locate and follow moving objects under surveillance.

Next-generation computing systems modeled after the human brain’s information processing capability and energy efficiency are becoming a reality through work by Dhireesha Kudithipudi.

Researchers at RIT will use photonic integrated circuit technology to improve the processing speed and energy consumption of brain-inspired computing techniques.

Researchers in RIT’s Center for Human-Aware Intelligence believe their work could lead to breakthroughs in everything from health care to energy management to cybersecurity.

A team of three computer engineering majors has developed a prototype for an emergency mass notification clock, which won the top prize and $5,000 in RIT’s first STEAM competition, sponsored by RIT’s Center for Public Safety Initiatives.

Dhireesha Kudithipudi, a computer engineering professor at RIT, was honored April 26 as the 2018 Technology Woman of the Year by Digital Rochester during a reception at Locust Hill Country Club.

Multidisciplinary senior design projects are the practicum for modern design thinking.

Technology development for “smart” forklifts and trucks that communicate with each other is underway at RIT where a team of engineers is building a next-generation intelligent materials handling system.

Rochester Institute of Technology students and faculty from various disciplines put their creative problem-solving skills to good use earlier this month. Working collaboratively, they examined challenges faced by client organizations and then presented conceptual solutions to them during a two-day event.
