Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute envision a day when surgeons will benefit from personalized training, rather than sheer practice repetition, thanks to novel neuroimaging and artificial intelligence methodologies. Under this method, surgeons would complete technical tasks while images of their brain activity reveal how well they have mastered critical skills.
TROY, N.Y. — Despite additional costs, increased restrictions, and issues stemming from compliance directives, government-mandated stress tests are effective in strengthening the overall health of the multi-trillion-dollar American banking industry.
Deborah McGuinness and Jamie McCusker were awarded the Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA) Ten-Year Award for a research paper which shed light upon how the use of the semantic concept owl:sameAs was being used and misused for linking data sets on the Web of data.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, as Rensselaer leaders prepared to bring students back to campus for the fall 2020 semester, they relied on a powerful algorithm to determine a testing schedule that, along with other tools, has helped maintain a safe environment on campus. That algorithm is now publicly available as a free online app.
The new episode of Why Not Change the World? The RPI Podcast features two researchers whose work is providing new perspectives on old conflicts.
A new research project, headed by Moussa N'Gom, an assistant professor physics, and supported by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, proposes to use the properties of light itself to punch a pathway for data through the clouds.
Drive Green with National Grid is offering the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute a new webinar series to answer questions related to electric vehicles (EVs). National Grid is offering a $350 gift card for anyone who purchases or leases an EV before December 31, 2020.
A new episode of Why Not Change the World? The RPI Podcast focuses on discoveries in space. Specifically, it highlights a recent finding about the nature of the Milky Way galaxy and technology being used aboard the International Space Station to make strides in pharmaceutical research and other areas.
Lucy Zhang, an associate professor of mechanical, aerospace, and nuclear engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Suvranu De, the J. Erik Jonsson ’22 Distinguished Professor of Engineering and head of the same department, have each been elected fellows of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how a nimble and innovative manufacturing sector can address some of humanity’s most pressing and emergent needs — from the production of masks and face shields to the biomanufacturing of therapeutics. Beginning on Monday, November 2, high school students from across the region will have an opportunity to explore some of the wide-ranging potentials of manufacturing during the 9th Annual National Manufacturing Day celebration at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
