Baggett reflects on early influences, the creation of “Crash Bandicoot” and what he learned growing companies in the tech sector.
Dave Baggett (B.S. '92, computer science; B.A. '92, linguistics) has spent more than three decades working at the intersection of software, entertainment and security. From helping create the original “Crash Bandicoot” to co-founding ITA Software...read more
UMD researchers develop tools to detect cultural and linguistic inconsistencies in AI-generated answers.
Imagine asking an AI chatbot for health advice and getting conflicting guidance—or turning to a chatbot in a crisis only to receive unclear instructions. Confusing or inconsistent AI isn’t just frustrating; it can put people’s...read more
Edward Marine and Viswanath Vasa develop SenseGuard, a long-range sensor system that helps organizations monitor environmental conditions in unattended sites.
Unoccupied buildings often carry risks that go unnoticed. A small leak, an unexpected power outage or a sudden temperature shift can cause extensive damage before anyone is aware. As property managers, researchers and organizations seek...read more
A gift from alum Brendan Iribe named a student lounge in honor of Computer Science Principal Lecturer Emerita Jandelyn Plane.
For 33 years, Jandelyn Plane worked to expand access to computing education at the University of Maryland. Earlier this year, a $2.85 million donation from alum Brendan Iribe established the Dr. Jan Plane Endowed Program...read more
UMD’s annual hackathon continues to create a space for collaboration, learning and community.
Hackathons have long served as a testing ground for creativity and collaboration, where students and professionals come together to solve real-world problems under tight deadlines. Over a day or two, ideas move from concept to...read more
The project examines how language models bypass safeguards through subtle rewrites and context shifts.
As AI tools become part of everyday life, large language models (LLMs) are growing more capable—generating text, translating languages, assisting with writing, and tackling complex reasoning. But researchers are finding these systems can subtly bend...read more
These classes help undergraduates understand and apply artificial intelligence.
The University of Maryland offers an unparalleled educational experience in artificial intelligence (AI) through both innovative curriculum and cutting-edge research. This combination positions UMD students to be leaders in the AI landscape. From game design...read more
He discusses his career path, research on human-computer interaction, and the importance of sustainable innovation.
University of Maryland Assistant Professor of Computer Science Huaishu Peng focuses his research on bridging the gap between digital and physical interactions. His work in human-computer interaction (HCI) explores how devices such as small robots,...read more
