The first Seed Transformative Interdisciplinary Research (STIR) grants, announced in early 2023 by the Notre Dame College of Science and College of Engineering, have been awarded to four new research projects led by multidisciplinary teams of scientists and engineers. The one-year seed …
With NASA funding, Notre Dame will lead a multi-institution, multi-million-dollar project to ensure safer skies Drones flying at low altitude are increasingly being used to support activities ranging from emergency response to package delivery to agricultural surveillance. How can we ensure …
Toby Li, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has received a Google Research Scholar Award for his project “Effective Human-AI Collaboration with Data-Driven Models in UX Design.” The project’s goal is to create software …
Opioid abuse in the United States has reached epidemic proportions, and opioid trafficking has moved online — making it even more difficult to stop. “Cyber criminals are always coming up with new tactics,” said Yanfang (Fanny) Ye, Collegiate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering …
Computers constantly transfer information between processing and memory units, and this shuttling back and forth of data consumes a lot of energy. Siddharth Joshi, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, and Ph.D. student Clemens Schafer, are …
Millions of Americans live in a food desert — an area with limited access to affordable, nutritious food. As a result, many of these Americans often end up with unhealthy and costly options for their meals. Ron Metoyer, a Notre Dame computer scientist and engineer who specializes in data …
It’s a scene straight out of a spy movie: pressing one’s eye right up to a scanner to gain exclusive access to a high-security location. “It’s a very Hollywood-ish thing, but my team has demonstrated in the past that dead eyes can be used for recognition even a few weeks post-mortem, so …
