The law can be a complicated thing, even for seemingly simple matters. Wondering if the oak tree in your front yard is in violation of local zoning ordinances? Figuring that out could mean wading through a tall pile of regulations, all written up in confounding legalese.
New methods to purify our water, advance quantum computing, democratize artificial intelligence, and deliver life-saving drugs are just some of the projects funded by the 2024 Roberts Innovation Fund Awards, providing $1 million in accelerator funding to support 10 new inventions led by faculty from Yale’s School of Engineering & Applied Science.
In a familiar display of aptitude, determination, and collaboration, a Yale team emerged victorious at the recent International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) Regionals and is set to compete later this week at the ICPC North America Championship in Orlando, Florida.
New and innovative methods of controlling cells with artificial intelligence, securing cryptocurrency and blockchain systems, and advancing natural language processing are just some of the projects funded by the first Roberts Innovation Fund Awards, providing $500,000 of accelerator funding to support 10 new inventions led by faculty from Yale’s School of Engineering & Applied Sci
Professor Ruzica Piskac and her group have won a Distinguished Paper award at the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) for their paper, “Proving UNSAT in Zero Knowledge.”
The International Collegiate Programming Contest is a global, multi-tiered competition that brings together student teams and tests their ability to problem solve and program under intense time constraints. American teams must first compete at the regional level before they can advance to the North American Championships and represent the continent at the World Championships.
Ruzica Piskac, recently appointed as the Donna L. Dubinsky Associate Professor of Computer Science, focuses her research on programming languages, software verification, automated reasoning, and code synthesis.
For her work on developing a firewall that repairs itself, Ruzica Piskac, assistant professor of computer science, has received a research award from Facebook.
The award is a three-year fellowship from the Office of Naval Research and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
