UAlbany junior Harry Weinstein is already presenting his research on a global stage, sharing work on next-generation chip-making materials at a leading international conference. He will present that work again at Showcase on April 30.

A new study from the University at Albany shows that artificial intelligence systems may organize information in far more intricate ways than previously thought. The study, “Exploring the Stratified Space Structure of an RL Game with the Volume Growth Transform,” has been published online through arXiv.

The seven new projects are funded through the joint UAlbany-IBM Center for Emerging Artificial Intelligence Systems and will use a cluster of IBM Spyre Accelerator cards for projects ranging from the search for mutational signatures important to diagnosing cancer to the impact of methane emissions on Earth’s climate.

Professor Rongwei Yang of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at UAlbany recently organized a Summer Collaborators project at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) at Princeton.

The Department of Mathematics & Statistics at the University at Albany (State University of New York) seeks to hire a tenure-track Assistant Professor as Simons Empire Faculty Fellow in algebraic methods, with potential applications to quantum computing or a related field, to begin in Fall 2026.

Distinguished Professor is the highest academic rank in the State University of New York, conferred solely by the SUNY Board of Trustees.

Originally from Rochester, N.Y., the Adejumos did not plan to go to the same college, but found UAlbany too inviting to pass on.
