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.
TROY, N.Y. — Manufacturing — the physical creation of products — touches nearly every aspect of our lives, from the phones in our hands and the cars that we drive, to the renewable energy that will power our world and the next generation of biopharmaceuticals.
Involving the public in scientific research can help to solve complex environmental problems, but according to Science by the People, a new book co-authored by sociologists Abby Kinchy of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Aya Kimura of the University of Hawaii-Manoa, effective “citizen science” requires an awareness of potential social dilemmas.
TROY, N.Y. — Spinal cord damage that causes paralysis and reduced mobility doesn’t always stop with the initial trauma, but there are few treatment options to halt increased deterioration — and there is no cure. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a promising new biomaterial that could offer targeted treatment to the damaged spinal cord and tissue, preventing further damage.
TROY, N.Y. — An interactive structure designed, built, and programmed by student engineers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will soon be a source of serenity for people supported at The Arc of Rensselaer County, an organization that provides services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
