Stony Brook researchers develop artificial intelligence system to predict aneurysm growth and rupture, offering tailored imaging and follow-up recommendations for patients.

Stony Brook, NY, May 4, 2025 — Current medical guidelines for monitoring abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) rely heavily on a single factor: the diameter of the aneurysm. But patients are more than a number—and their care should be too. A new research initiative at Stony Brook University Hospital is rethinking how clinicians track and treat this serious vascular condition by developing an artificial intelligence-driven clinical decision support tool that takes into account the full complexity of each patient’s health data.

Stony Brook researchers develop a novel approach to speech and facial animation, paving the way for humanlike, emotionally intelligent communication with virtual avatars.

Stony Brook, NY — April 21, 2025 — Researchers at Stony Brook and Meta AI have joined hands in developing a new AI model to generate photo-realistic 4D talking avatars from text. The system, called AV-Flow, is capable of producing highly synchronized speech, lip movement, facial expressions, and head motion, marking a significant step forward in natural human-computer interaction.

Stony Brook researchers win seed grant to help artificial intelligence better detect false arguments and subtle persuasion techniques in digital media.

As artificial intelligence and data science continue to transform the landscape of research, healthcare and industry, the Department of Biomedical Informatics is helping students prepare for this rapidly evolving era through its popular programming bootcamp. Launched in 2023, the bootcamp is designed to empower undergraduates with the skills needed to excel in data-driven fields, fostering a generation of scientists and professionals ready to engage with cutting-edge technology.
