Building a Collaborative Culture
Building a collaborative culture involves retaining and recruiting faculty committed to, and excited by, the concept. That requires strong leadership that can guide and encourage faculty. The College of Engineering appointed long-time faculty member Elise Morgan to do just that as Associate Dean for Research & Faculty Development.
PRISM highlights ENG’s Pioneering Data Science Curriculum
As the data revolution transforms industry and society, engineering schools are rethinking the basics.
Studying the biomechanics of voice disorders
By Gina Mantica, Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering Voice disorders don’t just change how a person sounds when they speak; they can also cause pain and impact a person’s wellbeing. Studying voice disorders in patients provides researchers with a snapshot of what’s happening during speech, whereas modeling can provide […]
Could a Computer Diagnose Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia?
Researchers at Boston University have developed a new tool that could automate the process and, eventually, allow it to move online. Their machine learning–powered computational model can detect cognitive impairment from audio recordings of neuropsychological tests—no in-person appointment needed.
Ioannis Paschalidis New Director of Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering
The Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering will have a new director as of July 1. Ioannis Paschalidis (ECE, BME, SE), a College of Engineering Distinguished Professor of Engineering and of computing and data sciences, will oversee the institute’s move into a new, eye-arresting building (the largest on the Charles River Campus), the Center for Computing & Data Sciences.
The Quest for a Heart Attack Cure
A BU-led team is engineering small patches of cardiac muscle that could repair the heart, treat heart disease, and speed drug development By David Levin for BU Brink Heart disease is one of the world’s most deadly and insidious killers. In the United States alone, it causes one in every four deaths nationwide—that’s a staggering […]
Hector Grande’s Immigrant Parents Helped Him Seize the Opportunity That Eluded Them
My first-generation story isn’t one of me struggling without support, but rather, it is about my parents doing all they could to make sure I was able to seize an opportunity they couldn’t.
