Six emerging scholars traveled to College Park to present their research and engage with UMD’s machine learning community, with two other researchers participating via Zoom.

He is an internationally recognized researcher in computer graphics, virtual reality, robotics and GPU computing.

QuICS Fellow Michael Gullans and Hartree Postdoctoral Fellow Dominik Hangleiter were part of a team that created a prototype quantum computer with a record number of qubits.

Their findings could be applied to future studies of gut health, including conditions like jaundice and inflammatory bowel disease.

Five papers by current QuICS members were accepted for talks and one will be featured in an invited plenary talk—a mark that continues a strong history of QuICS representation at the premier conference dedicated to quantum computer science.

The eight funded projects, totaling just over $1.5 million, will advance cutting-edge research and scholarship that spans AI design, development and governance.

Nirupam Roy is developing a tool that can help verify the authenticity of audiovisual recordings.

The award—expected to total $665,550 over the next five years—supports her work in advancing reliable and trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) for social good.

The award—expected to total about $650,000 over the next five years—supports his work in “descattering,” which involves developing novel ways for computers to “see through” objects and obstructions that scatter light.

A UMD team that includes Vanessa Frias-Martinez received a $5M NSF grant for tech solutions to reduce food insecurity and waste.
