Albany AI: Transforming the Academic Landscape
With the goal of becoming the first university-based computer to reach a quintillion computations per second, Albany AI will empower university and industry researchers to harness massive data sets to better understand how to automate complex operations, and create teaching and research collaborations with faculty in all disciplines.
UAlbany Engineering Building to Anchor New Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Initiative
The University at Albany today began a new era of teaching and research with the launch of Albany AI, a $200 million public-private supercomputing initiative based out of UAlbany’s soon-to-be-renovated College of Engineering and Applied Sciences building. Buoyed by $75 million in state funding to complete the transformation of the former Albany High School into a state-of-the-art engineering college and fund the construction of a supercomputer, the Albany Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Initiative (Albany AI) will significantly expand New York’s capacity in this major emerging field.
Engineering Students Take on Chemistry Challenge
Students in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences recently took on the challenge of building force tensiometers – a device capable of accurately testing the strength properties of new materials – for the Department of Chemistry's new materials chemistry wing in ETEC.
Engineering Solutions for People Living with Disabilities
For UAlbany students Guillermo Mijancos, Joseph Salgado and Michael L. George, engineering is more than just a construction tool. It’s a critical way of thinking about solutions that can benefit our lives. The three electrical and computing engineering majors recently completed their senior capstone project, with a focus on aiding and improving the lives of people living with disabilities.
Using Artificial Intelligence to Aid Farmers in Ghana
As part of a Google initiative to help academics and nonprofits develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques that can improve people’s lives, University at Albany Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Daphney-Stavroula Zois is working with AGRI-WEB to help smallholder farmers in Ghana develop better prediction models for their crop yields.
Researchers Aim to Improve Coexistence Between Radio Astronomy, Wireless Networks
A new project led by UAlbany researchers Aveek Dutta and Dola Saha aims to enhance coexistence in shared frequency bands between wireless cellular networks and passive radio telescopes.
A UAlbany Summer: NASA Technologist
An Electrical and Computer Engineering PhD student is spending this summer working as a visiting technologist for NASA, part of a prestigious fellowship program awarded to fewer than 60 people per year who show significant potential to contribute to NASA’s goal of creating innovative new space technologies.
