A paper co-authored by doctoral student Jaehyun Han, professor Donald Porter, and former undergraduate students Ibrahim Nael Mubarek and Nirjhar Mukherjee has been recognized as one of the IEEE Micro Top Picks from computer architecture conferences in 2023.
Professor Marc Niethammer received an NIH grant to develop a new framework that combines imaging and genetics to advance research for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The project, funded by $3,326,488 over five years, aims to identify early indicators and genetic targets for treatment by integrating deep learning with genome-wide association studies
Assistant Professor Roni Sengupta was recognized with the NIH NIBIB Trailblazer R21 Award. The award will provide roughly $580,000 in total funding to develop a 3D modeling system that can revolutionize endoscopy by providing accurate reconstructions of internal organs.
Perched atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, the ancient Swayambhu Temple proudly reflects Nepal’s rich cultural tapestry. In a groundbreaking initiative this past October, Religious Studies Professor Lauren Leve and Computer Science Research Scientist Jim Mahaney traveled to Swayambhu to start the long process of capturing the data needed to create an accurate 3D model of the entire temple complex.
UNC CS announces its participation in the Ego-Exo4D project, an innovative venture to revolutionize AI. An international consortium of 14 universities in partnership with Meta FAIR team will create a first-of-its-kind, large-scale, multimodal, multiview dataset that enhances AI’s perception, responsiveness, and understanding of human skill in real-world settings.
In this exclusive interview, new professor Richard Marks reflects on the strategies he has developed over decades in the tech industry and offers a glimpse into the future of generative AI as well as what he hopes to bring to computer science education.
A team of researchers and physicians led by Professor Ron Alterovitz has demonstrated, for the first time, a robotic needle capable of autonomously maneuvering through intricate lung tissue while avoiding obstacles and important lung structures.
