Hannah DeFelice’s research at RIT focused on how to improve animal welfare. The same research now takes her to Cornell University this fall to pursue her doctoral degree in biogeochemistry, the study of how living things interact with the physical and chemical environment.

RIT researchers are pushing the boundaries with immersive technologies.

Many agricultural plastics, contaminated with dirt and organic matter, end up in landfills releasing microplastics into soil and water. Malarkey hopes to help identify and mitigate those obstacles to create circular economy solutions.

Grace Perna, a third-year biotechnology student, and Eva Reilly, a second-year biochemistry major, will use the scholarship to further their research in labs that aim to find better solutions for a range of diseases.

The Robert E. Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices interviewed Loryn Johnson '20 (biotechnology and molecular biosciences), a neuroscience Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

Dunn is part of the Tomographic Ionized Carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), a project that is studying the early universe by mapping the emission of ionized carbon from distant galaxies.

Scientists now have obtained the clearest three-dimensional view of the nebula, thanks to a research team led by Carlson Center for Imaging Science and School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Joel Kastner.

CEOs, Chief Financial Officers, and Chief Technology Officers are among the 12 RIT alumni honored with Distinguished Alumni Awards for the 2024-2025 year.

RIT researchers have been a partner with Landsat projects for decades, and a group is now helping the program prepare for its next iteration with Landsat Next.

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.

Africa is rich in natural resources and contains one of the most diverse ecosystems across the globe. The Sahara Desert itself is larger than the continental United States. With all the unique landscapes, wildlife, and growing urban areas, more than 30 RIT faculty have recognized the importance of traveling to the continent, all backed by RIT Global.

A research project during Mohammad Saif's undergraduate career drew his attention to imaging, and now he has focused his academic career in remote sensing. Opportunities outside of the lab and the field have helped him learn how to better communicate and discuss the impact of his work.
