Researchers at RIT have improved the electronics used in communication and radar systems to better process signals using electromagnetic radio waves. This breakthrough could advance computing processes for technologies that need to handle signals quickly and efficiently.

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.

The Climate and Sustainability Leadership Program brings together students across all majors to learn through campus discussions and hands-on experiences with Rochester-area partners. The goal is to create leaders in sustainability.

At the Undergraduate Research Symposium, RIT students share research in artificial intelligence, sustainability, health sciences, and other areas that is helping to solve global challenges.
 

The interdisciplinary and collaborative Studio 930 program asks students to apply what they know, learn what they don’t, and design products that make life, or a single task, more efficient and accessible.

Third-year illustration major Ava Guarino started working on her submission for the poster contest not long after last year’s festival ended. Some 7,800 votes were cast, and Guarino’s poster was one of the top vote-getters to make the finals. Imagine RIT is April 26.

Faculty-researcher Gill Tsouri is developing a novel skin-sensing system that can be embedded onto the grip of a firearm to detect blood alcohol content levels, and once detected, the system could deter the trigger mechanism. The technology could be a step toward preventing firearm accidents, homicides, and suicides where there is a near 90 percent death rate.

Tom Temin ’77 (photography) of the Federal News Network speaks to Clayton Turner '90 (electrical engineering) about Turner's new title at NASA.

Yan, an assistant professor of electrical engineering in RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering, is leading a research team developing advanced optimization models and methods to manage complexities of operating the modern electrical grid through quantum computing.

Arthur Deane broke into the cybersecurity industry and he hasn’t looked back. Now, he’s helping others unlock opportunities in cybersecurity, paving the way for a more diverse and inclusive tech industry

Designed by LaBella Associates, this $25 million expansion almost doubles the size of RIT’s business college, adding more than 35,000 square feet of renovated classrooms, applied research and case analysis labs, a state-of-the-art auditorium and café, and more.
