Robel Endashaw and Abubakr Hussien create Cube, a digital platform inspired by traditional Ethiopian money pools that promotes shared saving and accountability.
When University of Maryland computer science students Robel Endashaw (B.S. ’25, computer science) and Abubakr Hussien (B.S. ’26, computer science) began discussing money management, their conversation turned toward a familiar concept rooted in their culture...read more
Many robotic systems rely on sophisticated cameras and sensors to “see” their surroundings. Humans do this naturally; babies and toddlers learn to judge size and distance by comparing objects to their own bodies. But robots...read more
He discusses his path into data visualization and human-centered AI.
University of Maryland Assistant Professor of Computer Science Leo Zhicheng Liu focuses his research on the intersection of artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction and data visualization. His work aims to make data analysis and communication more...read more
Associate Professor Dave Levin spoke with WIRED about the findings.
Satellites beam data down to the Earth all around us, all the time. So you might expect that those space-based radio communications would be encrypted to prevent any snoop with a satellite dish from accessing...read more
