As a participant in pilot two of The Arch at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Grayson Gerlich ’20, a biomedical engineering major with an imaging and instrumentation concentration, secured a spring semester away research internship at the Center for Structural Biochemistry (CBS) in Montpellier, France.
The Center for Career and Professional Development at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has been strategically building partnerships with companies throughout the United States and globally to create a wide array of opportunities for students to pursue as part of The Arch at Rensselaer.
Aparna Gupta, associate professor of quantitative finance and director of the Lally School of Management Center for Financial Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, recently won the best paper award presented at the 17th Finance, Risk, and Accounting Perspectives Conference held in Helsinki, Finland.
Meng Wang, an associate professor of electrical, computer, and systems engineering, recently received a grant through the Air Force Young Investigator Research Program to develop models, machine learning methods, algorithms, theoretical analyses, and numerical evaluations that can more efficiently recover data, extract information, and identify anomalies in the data.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is excited to announce a new electric vehicle discount program for the Rensselaer community: Drive Green with National Grid.
In research recently published in Nano Letters, a team at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute demonstrated a new way to manipulate tungsten diselenide (WSe2) — a promising two-dimensional material — to further improve its computing and information storage potential.
Heart disease and lung cancer are serious and potentially deadly health conditions that share many of the same risk factors and are often found in the same people. If doctors could screen for both conditions at the same time, using the same imaging technology, diagnosis could happen sooner and lives could be saved. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are working on a project, supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to combine screening for both cardiovascular disease and lung cancer into one low-dose CT scan.
Xavier Intes, professor of biomedical engineering and co-director of the Biomedical Imaging Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has been elected a fellow of The Optical Society (OSA), an international society for optics and photonics.
Advanced robotics manufacturing has the potential to vastly improve, speed up, and create safer manufacturing processes to design and create the things we interact with each day, while saving money. It combines cutting-edge robotics, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is leading a number of projects aimed at improving next-generation manufacturing.
Raquel Velho, an assistant professor of science and technology studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, will deliver a talk titled “Monuments of Care: A Discussion About Infrastructures and Maintenance,” on October 10 at 6:30 at the Opalka Gallery at Russell Sage College. The gallery’s latest installation, “In-Faux-Structure,” addresses the power dynamics and disparities inherent in global and local infrastructures.
