Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed significant investments to enhance Stony Brook University's (SBU) research capabilities. In her State of the State address, she recommended allocating $200 million in capital funding to develop new and renovated research facilities at SBU and the University at Buffalo. Additionally, the proposal includes matching up to $500 million in state funds to support e
Nandita Kumari, a former graduate student at Stony Brook University, utilized machine learning to analyze lunar composition, aiming to identify resources like water and minerals for NASA's Artemis missions. Her research focused on quantifying rock compositions on the Moon, enhancing resource identification for future lunar exploration. Kumari's work contributes to sustainable space exploration
Dr. Jie Wei, a computer science professor at The City College of New York (CCNY), is leading a U.S.
Stony Brook University faculty members are addressing the environmental impact of data centers, which currently contribute approximately 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions—comparable to the entire airline industry. With a $1.5 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, the team is developing comprehensive metrics to assess sustainability costs, including energy usage and equipment lifecycle emissions.
Researchers at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute have developed an AI-based biomarker that utilizes routine CT scans to predict how patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will respond to immunotherapy. The study, published in Science Advances
VERSES Technologies has published a groundbreaking research paper outlining a novel approach to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The paper introduces a framework based on Active Inference, a theory from neuroscience that models how biological systems perceive and act in the world. This methodology emphasizes reducing uncertainty to achieve expected outcomes, contrasting with traditional
Stony Brook University's Reality Deck, a cutting-edge immersive visualization facility, is aiding researchers in understanding and predicting storm surge emergencies. By simulating extreme weather scenarios on a computing cluster and immersing users in a 360-degree environment, the Reality Deck allows for real-time visualization of flooding events, enhancing decision-making during crises.
