From satellite debris to artificial intelligence, double major students find research success by combining expertise in computer science and economics.

Annalee Dorozynski, a fifth-year game design and development major, has created a VR recreation of the Music Performance Theater that audience members can use to locate their seat to see the view of the stage from that location.

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.

Club sports are a big part of student life at the university. Every year, about 2,000 students are involved with the nearly 50 different club sports. For many, it scratches that competitive itch. For others, it’s a chance to try something new, find a community, and stay active.

The goal of libraries, museums, and archives around the world is to safeguard historical documents, but some objects can deteriorate with time.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.

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.

Professor Caroline DeLong established the ManyOtters project in collaboration with several other universities to share research, knowledge, and to explore the cognitive abilities of otters.

Two civil engineering technology graduates from 2008 have returned to the RIT campus, this time, to use their knowledge to help build the Music Performance Theater set to open next spring.
