CS PhD student Kasra Torshizi, mentored by Associate Professor Pratap Tokekar, contributes to AI-driven advances in machine learning, computer vision, and autonomous systems research at UMD’s MATRIX Lab.
University of Maryland (UMD) MATRIX Lab researchers are proving that real-world challenges can be solved with cost-effective research that efficiently uses resources. MATRIX Lab graduate students Ryan Lowe (M.Eng. ’26, Robotics) and Jacob Safeer (M.S...read more
Inside the lab where researchers investigate how bodies, senses and technology work together to shape learning.
At the University of Maryland’s Department of Computer Science, researchers in the Embodied Dynamics Laboratory explore how technology interacts with the human body and mind. Led by Assistant Professor Jun Nishida , the lab studies...read more
UMD computer science Professor Heng Huang leads the project’s artificial intelligence and machine learning efforts and plans to build an innovative large genomic language model for Alzheimer’s that will drive drug discovery for the disease.
The National Institutes of Health awarded $12.5 million over five years to support an initiative that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to quickly search vast stores of genomic, biomarker, and cognitive data...read more
The past decade has seen explosive growth in the collection and use of metagenomic data—genetic material (DNA or RNA) extracted directly from environmental or clinical samples such as soil, water or the human gut. While...read more
UMD Ph.D. student Geonsun Lee leads “Sensible Agent” project with Google Research to examine proactive AR assistants designed to adapt to real-world context.
When digital assistants first appeared on personal computers, they often waited for users to type a command or click a button. As wearable technologies move closer to everyday use, researchers are asking a different question:...read more
In an era where microbiome research reveals significant insights into human health, ecosystems and disease, researchers face a central challenge: making sense of fragmented sequencing data. They must piece together millions of DNA fragments to...read more
Inspired by a college internship, Russell Schwartz (B.S. ’22, mathematics, B.S. ’22, computer science) is taking his passion for mathematics all the way to the moon.
From the time he was a kid growing up in Ellicott City, Maryland, Russell Schwartz (B.S. ’22, mathematics, B.S. ’22, computer science) was obsessed with all things space, from NASA missions to science fiction. “I...read more
