Two professors from the Department of Mechanical Engineering received significant accolades for their research and contributions from their respective professional organizations.
Chemical engineering Ph.D. candidate Hunter McRay is tackling one of today's biggest safety concerns: electric vehicle battery fires.
Instructor Azadeh Sepahvandi combines her passion for research into restoring and improving damaged tissues with a dedication to foster creativity and encourage her students to take an active role in their learning.
Civil and Environmental Engineering Associate Professor Shamia Hoque recently started a research project that aims to better understand the mechanisms driving the interaction of viruses within the built environment and surrounding surfaces.
A high school chemistry assignment without any instructions did not deter Justin Jordan from pursuing STEM studies. Rather, it started a passion for chemical engineering.
Zack Simpson knew he would pursue a career in a STEM field. But geotechnical engineering, a branch of civil engineering that focuses on soil and rock mechanics, was not his anticipated path.
Within the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing and university community, the Artificial Intelligence Institute of USC provides experts to partner with researchers and groups for training or implementing AI.
Instructor Bhavana Ginjupally's decision to study computer science was not driven by a lifelong passion, but rather curiosity and circumstance.
The one keyword to represent Junsoo Lee's research is multi-agent systems. He also believes in the importance of bridging people from different backgrounds and providing leadership, which is apparent in his research and work with students.
A two-year co-op with Merck and working alongside Melissa Moss at the college's Protein Aggregation and Neuroinflammation Laboratory is giving doctoral candidate Amy Veihdeffer the resources for advancing the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Professor Vignesh Narayanan from the Artificial Intelligence Institute of the University of South Carolina recently started an NSF-funded research project that aims to understand the vulnerabilities of learning-based controllers and enhance an understanding of possible cyberattacks.
Tamiko Fletcher, computer engineering ’02, didn’t know when she started interning at NASA in 1999 that she’d still be there nearly 25 years later. Now, she's the chief information security officer at John F. Kennedy Space Center and works to to minimize cybersecurity threats to NASA’s ground systems.
Assistant Professor Erfan Goharian is developing a system of cameras that will be constantly monitored by artificial intelligence to immediately warn homeless communities of flooding.
Patrick Bailey's fascination with aerospace engineering began with a childhood trip to the Kennedy Space Center, where he witnessed a space shuttle launch that ignited his lifelong passion for aerospace engineering.
Faculty from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering are currently leading efforts and collaborating with the South Carolina Department of Transportation to ensure the state's bridges are resistant to damage from future earthquakes.
STEM careers are historically male-dominated environments, but alumna Krystal Fowler is paving the way for the next generation of women and underrepresented groups in engineering.
Ramtin Zand's five-year, nearly $600,000 project is expected to produce smaller, faster and smarter machine learning computing systems for use in real-world applications without reliance on large servers.
Research Assistant Professor Benjamin Meekins recently began an Office of Naval Research-funded project that will use a specific and proven membrane for the seawater electrolysis process to produce hydrogen.
Mechanical Engineering Associate Professor Austin Downey was recently selected as one of two USC faculty members selected as Fulbright scholars. He will leave in August and serve as a visiting professor at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden.
The 2024 Battery Safety Workshop from August 5-6 will highlight the importance of collaboration and innovation in ensuring the safety of batteries in an increasingly mobile society.
Since this past January, Electrical Engineering Associate Professor Xiaofeng Wang has been working toward advancing end-to-end safety and performance for learning-enabled autonomous systems in real-world settings.
Marine biofouling is the accumulation of microorganisms on ships' hulls, causing hydrodynamic drag and corrosion. But Associate Professor Tao Wei's current research project is aiming to alleviate the issue by examining the use of two new materials alongside advanced technology for coating.
Assistant Professor Wout De Backer underscores hands-on learning and collaboration, while inspiring his students with his passion for aircraft design and innovation in composites through additive manufacturing.
Ph.D. candidate Deepa Tilwani is building on the continued transformation of healthcare by working on research into how AI can be used for early autism diagnosis.
IIT Professor Jorge Crichigno will begin a research project next month that aims to enhance network security by utilizing new technologies and machine learning to detect and classify malware.
Jorge Crichigno, professor of integrated information technology in the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing, is leading a three-year project to prepare a new generation of cyberwarfare professionals.
