ENG’s Newest Associate Professors
Four ENG faculty have been promoted to the rank of associate professor with tenure, BU Provost Jean Morrison announced. Alexander Green, College of Engineering associate professor of biomedical engineering, uses computational design to engineer RNA molecules that provide useful functions inside and outside living cells—research with translational implications for sensing systems, low-cost diagnostics, and biomolecular […]
Smart Technology: Open Source and Equitable
Between 2012 and 2017, the number of car accidents in Boston rose by 33%. Depending on the year, 25% to 31% of all reported accidents in Boston resulted in non-fatal injuries. Christos Cassandras, a distinguished professor of engineering and head of the division of systems engineering, is working to mitigate this issue through smart technology. By implementing cooperative autonomous vehicles, which can communicate with each other, he aims to improve safety, congestion, and energy consumption.
