“I can imagine what things sound like even though I am deaf,” Robert Panara wrote in his poem, “On His Deafness.”
I can imagine the strumming of a guitar, I can imagine the rustle of a star.
The words appear at the end of a new production of Edgar Lee Masters’ “Spoon River Anthology,” a century-old collection of poems re-envisioned by computer technology, and awarded new meaning by the raucous and confusing year of 2020. “That was put at the end there,” Dr. Luane Davis Haggerty says of Panara’s poem, “with the hope that people would see that the theme is that we are all stardust, we are all from the same, we are all the same.

RIT Imaging scientist receives funding from National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and NASA to improve how LiDAR can be used to study forests
12/15/2020 3 Minutes Read
Imaging scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology have several new projects in the works to improve the way waveform LiDAR can be used to study forests. Professor Jan van Aardt from the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science has received a $194,000 award from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and a $197,000 award from NASA for two different but interrelated remote-sensing projects.
RIT will partner with researchers at Battelle on the NGA grant, which will focus on using waveform LiDAR which stands for “light detection and ranging” to create clearer 3D sub-canopy maps of forests. Van Aardt said that LiDAR currently does a good job of outlining the top portion of forests, but by using a more complex form of LiDAR, it can reveal much more detail about
Albert Titus
UB researcher Albert H. Titus, professor and chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, has been elected a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
Fellowship, according to the NAI, is the highest professional distinction accorded by the organization to academic inventors who have demonstrated “a highly prolific spirit of innovation in creating or facilitating outstanding inventions that have made a tangible impact on quality of life, economic development and the welfare of society.”
Titus is one of 175 researchers worldwide to be elected to the NAI this year.
“Albert Titus is a prolific investigator whose innovative research record spans a diverse array of fields, including artificial vision, hardware and software for artificial neural networks, optoelectronics and integrated sensor systems. He is a recognized leader in his field, with patents and scholarship that have contributed greatly to the advancement of technologies with great societal
