Marie Lang Lauren Trumpore was instrumental in advocating for the new Undergraduate Research Scholars awards. She will be among the inaugural class of honorees recognized at graduation this May.
Forty members of the inaugural class of Undergraduate Research Scholar Awardees will be honored at this year’s graduation ceremonies. The recognition highlights their accomplishments in a variety of complex and demanding research areas during their time at RIT. It also shows RIT’s commitment to meeting the growing demand by undergraduates for research experiences to complement coursework.
“We have an extremely high density of undergraduates who are engaged in independent, scholarly research,” said Ryne Raffaelle, RIT’s vice president for research and associate provost. “Hands-on education through research continues to be a hallmark of an RIT undergraduate education. What we are happy to see this year is the breadth of fields represented and the depth of the work of this fi

Gabrielle Plucknette-DeVito Panos Markopoulos recently received an Air Force Research Young Investigator award to develop a more robust sensor analysis system to better evaluate data simultaneously from sources such as cameras, oscilloscopes, and other sensors.
RIT engineering faculty-researcher Panos Markopoulos recently received an Air Force Young Investigator Program award to develop a more robust sensor analysis system to better evaluate data simultaneously from sources such as cameras, oscilloscopes, and other sensors. The research focus is on large volumes of streaming data, collected from diverse sensor platforms, such as multispectral cameras and antenna arrays. The developed theory and technology could enable intelligent machines to learn reliably, even from corrupted data collected from all types of sensors.

RIT successfully completed all 13 weeks of in-person instruction this fall without having to suspend or cancel classes due to coronavirus outbreaks. Despite having a large, active campus with students from many countries and all 50 states, RIT had a relatively low rate of infection and avoided major outbreaks. From Aug. 19 to Nov. 24 (the final day of in-person classes) on the main RIT campus: • Ninety students tested positive for coronavirus out of a student population of 16,701. • Twenty employees tested positive out of 3,605.
