Originally designed for video games, graphics processing units (GPUs) now power much of today’s AI – from voice assistants to self-driving cars. Unlike regular computer chips, GPUs have thousands of small cores that handle many simple tasks at once. GPUs …
Rechargeable batteries power everything from electric vehicles to laptop computers. They are in-demand, but far from perfect. Improving them means finding the ideal mix of elements from the periodic table, each with unique properties alone and in combination. Like drug …
Tall vehicles – those that have a higher ground clearance than sedans – have larger-than-usual blind spots, and it poses a particular risk for pedestrians, according to a study by master’s student Joely Overstreet and her advisor, Professor Xiao Qin, both …
Cancer research often demands patience – hours of labeling 3D images, tracing tumor boundaries pixel by pixel before the real work can even begin. In Associate Professor Mahsa Dabagh’s lab, artificial intelligence is reshaping how researchers predict and treat disease. …
What if you could turn common metals, like steel or copper, into mini-solar panels by applying a coating? Professors Nikolai Kouklin, computer science, and Konstantin Sobolev, civil & environmental engineering, stumbled onto a way to do just that. The coating …
UWM Chancellor Thomas Gibson and WUWM general manager David Lee delve into what UWM’s College of Engineering & Applied Science has to offer in a recent on-air interview with Dean Brett Peters and Kayla Knudtson, an undergraduate in electrical engineering. Peters …
Students and faculty from the college were well-represented at a welcome event for U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin when she visited UWM’s Connected Systems Institute (CSI) Sept. 24. Baldwin explored the cutting-edge artificial intelligence research at the Microsoft AI Co-Innovation Lab …
Congratulations to the four engineering & computer science students who were awarded research funding this semester from the Northwestern Mutual Data Science Institute. A partnership among UWM, Marquette University and Northwestern Mutual, NMDSI aims to establish Wisconsin as a national …
Two research projects – one focusing on virtual reality exposure and the other on a pretreatment for battery parts – have received funding by the UWM Graduate School’s Discovery and Innovation Grant (DIG) program. This yearlong, internal seed funding prioritizes new …
Five members of the UWM Foundry research group, led by and including Distinguished Professor Pradeep Rohatgi, materials science & engineering, have been granted a U.S. patent for their innovative work on surface alloying of sand-cast steel components. Current doctoral students …
