Blending Humanistic Inquiry and Technology, Carnegie Mellon Leads a New Era of Cultural Study and Research
Carnegie Mellon University will introduce new academic programs and resources for students and researchers to blend traditional humanistic inquiry with computational methods like computer vision, machine learning, network analysis and data visualization.
From Summer Research to Smarter AI
Aidan Zhang arrived at CMU from Canada with a deep curiosity about artificial intelligence and a desire to explore its boundaries. Now, he's taking on one of AI's more complex challenges: improving how models generate and refine code.
Quantum Hide-and-Seek: SURF Project Automates Finding the Invisible
Patrick Kaczmarek, a junior at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in applied physics and mechanical engineering, was awarded a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) to work on a project that blends quantum physics, robotics and machine learning — all in pursuit of making the invisible visible.
CMU-Backed PennSTART Project To Bring Training, Testing and Jobs to the Region
Carnegie Mellon University’s Safety21 U.S. Department of Transportation National University Transportation Center helped shape the vision for PennSTART — the Pennsylvania Safety Transportation and Research Track — now under construction.
Speaking Their Language: CMU's New AI Lets Kids Hear Their Own Corrected Voice
Researchers in CMU's Language Technologies Institute have created an AI tool that could help fix a child's speech and preserve their identity and personality by allowing them to hear the reconstructed speech in their own voice.
CMU Junior Creates New Tool To Inspect Epilepsy Data
To help scientists learn more about epilepsy, Alan Song has used a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship to build a new software package that displays brain activity data for epilepsy in a revolutionary way.
Hands-On Experience Helps Rales Fellow En Route to Role as Additive Manufacturing Engineer
Cameron Drewery, a member of the first cohort of CMU’s Rales Fellows Program, is now working as an additive manufacturing engineer for Nikon AM Synergy in Long Beach, California.
Real-World Cyber Experience is Hard to Get. This CMU Program Could Change That.
For young people entering the rapidly growing cybersecurity workforce, hands-on internship experience is often hard to come by. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have partnered with the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) to address that challenge.
Deeper Conversations Series Returns, Promotes Power of Civil Discourse
Carnegie Mellon University's Deeper Conversations returned on Nov. 20 for a discussion titled “Universities in the Balance: Federal Law, Policy and Pressures in Divisive Times.”
Rales Fellows Program Empowers Alum to Tackle Mobility Challenges and Support Caregivers
Transitioning from graduate school into the workforce can be overwhelming, especially without prior industry experience. Zhao faced this challenge head-on with the support of the Rales Fellows Program, which offers practical guidance every step of the way.
New CMU 3D-Printing Simulator Constructs Stronger, More Efficient Concrete Buildings
When natural disaster strikes, a building’s survival often depends on how it’s built. Engineers at Carnegie Mellon University have created a fast, highly accurate simulator for spray-based concrete 3D printing that could enable stronger, more complex and less wasteful construction by predicting how concrete behaves and solidifies, even around rebar.
Rales Fellow Erick Cohen Helps Rethink the Role of Data
Through CMU’s Rales Fellows Program, Cohen earned a Master of Science in Data Analytics For Science. The program was established in 2023 to support the world's next generation of STEM leaders.
