Jian Shi, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, was recently appointed as an associate editor of the Journal of Applied Physics.
TROY, N.Y. — Chemically engineered peptides, designed and developed by a team of researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, could prove valuable in the battle against some of the most persistent human health challenges.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Professor James Hendler has been named to the International Advisory Board of Health Data Research UK, the national institute for health data science, which includes England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
TROY, N.Y. — A surgeon makes an incision on a virtual patient with support from a perioperative nurse, while an anesthesiologist monitors the patient’s vital signs. As the procedure continues, the team members navigate together through any challenges that arise — even though each of them may be participating from different rooms, buildings, or even cities.
Deepak Vashishth, the director of the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies and a professor of biomedical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has been named a fellow of the American Bone and Mineral Society.
What is the value of a really good bottle of Bordeaux? Not one that can be bought at the neighborhood wine store for $20, nor even a $100 bottle that might be purchased at a fancy restaurant. How much should collectors and wine distributors pay for those rarified fine wines that, when mature, might sell for thousands of dollars?
Juergen Hahn, the head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has accepted the position of deputy editor-in-chief of the Journal of Process Control.
As part of the inaugural class participating in The Arch at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, rising senior Lucretia Shumate ’21, a dual biochemistry/biophysics and bioinformatics/molecular biology major, secured a fall semester away research internship at Magee Women’s Research Institute in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
TROY, N.Y. — Short of cameras, there are few tools at the disposal of health care providers or loved ones to remotely monitor patient safety within hospitals and assisted living care facilities. A new system of infrared sensors is able to provide real-time data about a person’s movements in a room while also maintaining their privacy.
The Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute continues to strategically build partnerships with companies to create an array of opportunities for students to pursue as part of The Arch at Rensselaer.
