Researchers from RIT’s Future Photon Initiative, in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory, have produced the Department of Defense’s first-ever fully integrated quantum photonics wafer.

Statistical machine learning is at the core of modern-day advances in artificial intelligence, but RIT professor Ernest Fokoué argues that applying it correctly requires equal parts science and art. Fokoué emphasized the human element of statistical machine learning in his primer on the field that graced the cover of a recent edition of Notices of the American Mathematical Society.

RIT will bring international pioneers in the advancement of photonics for quantum devices to campus this summer for a special workshop. The Photonics for Quantum Workshop 2 takes place June 23-25 at the RIT campus.

Universe Today features Joel Kastner, professor in the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, and astrophysical sciences and technology Ph.D. students Annie Dickson-Vandervelde and Emily Wilson.

While interested in science, Alexandria Shumway had never heard of bioinformatics before attending RIT. But after branching out and trying a new major, she discovered it was the perfect fit.

WROC-TV talks to Professor André Hudson, head of the Thomas H. Gosnell School of Life Sciences, about antibiotic-resistant bacteria found on touch screens.

At the end of her first year at RIT, Nicole Cavanaugh began working for the Hudson Lab. Today, she works as a research apprentice at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute where she is preparing for her Ph.D.

During his time in the Science Exploration program, Noah Gubernick participated in an experiment that explored the potential formation of amino acids on ancient Mars which helped him discover his passion for chemistry and experimental design.

Scientists from RIT have discovered a newborn massive planet closer to Earth than any other of similarly young age found to date. The baby giant planet lies only about 330 light years from our solar system. The discovery, published in the Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society, provides researchers an exciting new way to study how gas giants form.

The National Science Foundation is bringing in RIT Professor Zoran Ninkov, an expert in imaging and astrophysics, to help the government agency evaluate future research opportunities.
