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

BiRed Imaging, co-founded by Professor Satish Kandlikar, blends infrared camera capture, numerical simulation, and artificial intelligence-driven algorithms to accurately detect the presence, size, and location of tumors. The revolutionary process spares patients painful breast compression, radiation exposure, false alarms, and unnecessary anxiety.

The goal of libraries, museums, and archives around the world is to safeguard historical documents, but some objects can deteriorate with time. RIT’s Cultural Heritage Imaging (CHI) lab is using funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities to develop a relatively low-cost system that makes cultural heritage imaging methods more accessible.

Across the country, millions struggle to find timely or affordable mental health support. This imbalance was an inspiration for Ali Tosyali, who researched a potential assistive technology that could help practitioners identify potential disorders in a faster and efficient manner.

Linwei Wang, professor in the Department of Computing and Information Sciences Ph.D, has been named the Bruce B. Bates Endowed Professor at RIT.

Over the next three years, the Research Experience for Undergraduates Site in Computational Sensing for Human-centered AI will welcome nine undergraduate students each summer to RIT’s campus. The site is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

A new project funded by the National Institutes of Health is using artificial intelligence to map the full journey of illnesses and discover entirely new disease pathways.
