In July 2020, researchers from Akai Kaeru LLC, affiliated with Stony Brook University, developed a machine learning tool to identify U.S. counties most at risk from the COVID-19 pandemic. By analyzing factors like population density, age distribution, and healthcare access, the tool aims to assist policymakers in targeting interventions and allocating resources effectively.
The future of education is incorporating AI into its teaching methods, and biomedical engineering education at Stony Brook University is no different.

In April 2020, Stony Brook University Computer Science Professor Niranjan Balasubramanian initiated a fundraising effort to support COVID-19 relief by donating his original paintings. He offered one of his artworks to anyone contributing $50 or more to a related cause, merging his passion for art with a commitment to assist communities affected by the pandemic
In December 2020, Stony Brook University professors Joel H. Saltz, MD, PhD, and Alexander B. Zamolodchikov, PhD, were appointed SUNY Distinguished Professors, the highest academic rank in the SUNY system. Dr. Saltz is renowned for his work in biomedical informatics, while Dr.
In January 2020, researchers from the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Stony Brook University developed a human-aware AI system capable of deblurring faces in photos. The model distinguishes between foreground and background blurs by utilizing masks to separate them. Trained on the Human-aware Image Deblurring (HIDE) dataset and supplemented w
In February 2020, Innovate Long Island announced its 2020 Innovator Awardees, recognizing individuals and organizations driving innovation across the region. The awards highlighted achievements in technology, science, education, and entrepreneurship, celebrating contributions that have significantly impacted Long Island's innovation ecosystem.
In February 2020, researchers from the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Stony Brook University developed an AI system capable of reconstructing motion-blurred human faces in photographs. The model distinguishes between foreground and background blurs by utilizing human-aware masks, effectively separating and processing each area. Trained on th
In January 2020, researchers from the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Stony Brook University developed an AI system capable of deblurring human faces in photos. The model employs a human-aware approach, distinguishing between foreground and background blurs by utilizing masks to separate them. Trained on the Human-aware Image Deblurring (HIDE
In January 2020, a Stony Brook University-led team received a $4.2 million DARPA KAIROS award to develop AI systems capable of understanding and responding like humans. The project, titled "Structured Generative Models for Multi-modal Schema Learning," aims to create machine learning algorithms that integrate information from text, audio, and video to discern core events from incidental ones. T
Billionaire Len Blavatnik has been instrumental in advancing scientific research through his philanthropic efforts, notably by providing $250,000 unrestricted grants to young scientists and engineers in the U.S. These awards, established in 2014, aim to support early-career researchers under the age of 42, enabling them to pursue innovative projects without the constraints of traditional funding limitations.
