The dean of Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering is praised for his research credentials, success in global partnerships and entrepreneurship, and strong student engagement. He starts at RIT July 1.

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.

RIT researcher Rubén Proaño has joined the World Health Organization’s Technical Advisory Group on Market Access for Vaccines. He began his service during the advisory group’s November meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.

Fine tuning sensors on prosthetics includes incorporating the sense of touch into a device to be as close to the sensations felt by a natural limb as can be. Leila Daly, a fifth-year computer engineering technology student from Willingboro, N.J., is working on developing a sensor system for a more touch-responsive prosthetic finger.

RIT researcher Blanca Lapizco-Encinas found new ways to identify those mutations faster. Resurrecting an older theoretical technique that can be used for analyzing pathogens that cause disease, her work could improve how clinicians develop more effective treatments.

The team is the first to earn the Ramsey Family Innovation Award, which will provide annual support for one student team each year enrolled in the RIT Student Accelerator program.

Kerrie Holley, a pioneering force in technology and innovation, will headline the 2024 Eugene H. Fram Signature Lecture in Critical Thinking at RIT, offering insights on one of the more critical topics of our time: artificial intelligence.

RIT student Micheala Stout is fulfilling her first co-op experience this summer by developing an interactive toy that fine tunes the motor skills of children with developmental disabilities.

Researchers at RIT are developing non-invasive technology that will better assess cardiac tissue response to thermal energy, a common therapy approach for both cancer and cardiac arrhythmia treatments.
