A Glimpse at Tomorrow’s Energy Technologies
This year’s Catalyst Summit showcased groundbreaking research and fresh ideas in energy, AI, and sustainability technology.
Controlling for Uncertainty
With the support of a $380K grant from the NSF, Professor Emiliano Dall’Anese is working to design the novel optimization methods required for complex energy infrastructures under increasingly volatile user behavior.
NASA Satellite Launched With BU-Built Device On Board
Developed by Brian Walsh and students, COSSMo uses an array of photodetectors that measure the flow of photons from the sun.
BU Receives Major Multimillion Dollar NIH Grant for Women’s Health Research
The grant will also spur investment in early-career faculty.
Smart Management for AI Power Consumption
A pair of BU ECE faculty researchers are teaming up to work on a solution that will be environmentally sustainable … and help to sustain AI’s continued growth.
Finding Coherence
Professor Venkataraman has been awarded $3.2M to parse and predict post-stroke aphasia recovery.
Research Program Helps Bridge the Opportunity Gap for Young Engineers
When Perales came to Boston University to study electrical and biomedical engineering—the first in her family to go to college—she looked for ways to have an immediate impact.
This past year, Perales applied for a BU College of Engineering–affiliated program, Research Engineering and Mentoring-Includes (REM-Includes), designed to give first-generation and low-income college students their first taste of lab time.
CAREER Award for AI Intermediary
Professor Kayhan Batmanghelich has received a CAREER Award to create an AI system to translate between medical AI systems and clinicians.
Is AI Slowing Climate Progress? It’s Complicated
For over a decade, Ayse Coskun has studied the relationship between electric grids and data centers—the sprawling warehouses that house equipment necessary to maintain the internet and computing infrastructure. In years past, grid operators have been able to plan for and meet energy demands from data centers—but then artificial intelligence (AI) boomed.
CAREER Award Supports Accessible AI for All
Professor Eshed Ohn-Bar’s CAREER Award-winning new project to build AI personalized to individual access needs.
