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 …
The Abbey Library of St. Gall in Switzerland is home to approximately 160,000 volumes of literary and historical manuscripts dating back to the eighth century — all of which are written by hand, on parchment, in languages rarely spoken in modern times. To preserve these historical accounts …
When it comes to research, having a strong cyberinfrastructure that supports advanced data acquisition, storage, management, integration, mining, visualization, and computational processing services, can be vital. However, building cyberinfrastructures (CI) — especially ones that aim to support …
The COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult for everyone, but especially for people with Parkinson’s disease. A new study from Notre Dame computer science engineers explored the impact of stay-at-home mandates, which prevented patients from participating in structured …
For public health officials, contact tracing remains critical to managing the spread of the coronavirus — particularly as it appears that variants of the virus could be more transmissible. The need for widespread contact tracing at the start of the pandemic led tech giants Apple and Google to …
Led by Yiyu Shi, associate professor of Computer Science and Engineering, researchers are developing a technique using artificial intelligence (AI) that would improve CT screening to more quickly identify patients with the coronavirus. The new technique will reduce the burden on the radiologists …
