Fifteen new faculty members join six of the school’s academic departments.
Data
A community collaboration for progress
Graduate student Nolen Scruggs works with a local tenant association to address housing inequality as part of the MIT Initiative on Combatting Systemic Racism.
From steel engineering to ovarian tumor research
Ashutosh Kumar, a materials science and engineering PhD student and MathWorks Fellow, applies his eclectic skills to studying the relationship between bacteria and cancer.
An AI dataset carves new paths to tornado detection
TorNet, a public artificial intelligence dataset, could help models reveal when and why tornadoes form, improving forecasters’ ability to issue warnings.
This tiny chip can safeguard user data while enabling efficient computing on a smartphone
Researchers have developed a security solution for power-hungry AI models that offers protection against two common attacks.
Advancing technology for aquaculture
MIT Sea Grant students apply machine learning to support local aquaculture hatcheries.
Using deep learning to image the Earth’s planetary boundary layer
Lincoln Laboratory researchers are using AI to get a better picture of the atmospheric layer closest to Earth’s surface. Their techniques could improve weather and drought prediction.
AI generates high-quality images 30 times faster in a single step
Novel method makes tools like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E-3 faster by simplifying the image-generating process to a single step while maintaining or enhancing image quality.
Using generative AI to improve software testing
MIT spinout DataCebo helps companies bolster their datasets by creating synthetic data that mimic the real thing.
Startup accelerates progress toward light-speed computing
Lightmatter, founded by three MIT alumni, is using photonic technologies to reinvent how chips communicate and calculate.
