Nina Telang has impacted thousands of electrical and computer engineering undergraduate students over the last two decades, at the most important time of their academic careers.

Hal Alper has been elected to the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering, a select group of innovators recognized for their outstanding contributions to the medical and biological engineering professions.

A global artificial intelligence challenge led by Texas Engineers Zoltan Nagy and Javad Mohammadi has been recognized by the Climate Change AI Innovation (CCAI) Grants program.

Cockrell School of Engineering faculty and alumni are playing key roles in a new artificial intelligence video startup that creates narrative videos from existing footage libraries.

For over a decade, Moriba Jah has been on a crusade to inform the public about the growth and consequences of free-floating space debris.

By the time Edith Clarke joined The University of Texas at Austin, becoming the first female electrical engineering professor in the U.S., she had already achieved legendary status among her peers.

A trio of Texas Engineers have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society.

Karen Willcox, professor of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics and the director of the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, won the 2024 Theodore von Kármán Prize from the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

The creator of a code to predict hurricane storm surges and an expert on the federal courts and constitutional law have been named the 2024 recipients of The University of Texas at Austin President’s Research Impact Award.

In new research, Texas Engineers gave tiny robots the same organizing abilities as schools of fish to form "smart swarms."

Imagine playing a racing game like Mario Kart, using only your brain to execute the complex series of turns in a lap.

This is not a video game fantasy, but a real program that engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have created as part of research into brain-computer interfaces to help improve the lives of people with motor disabilities.

In 15 years as an associate dean, John Ekerdt helped build a collaborative research culture and served as a catalyst for the transforming skyline of the engineering campus.

It's been 40 years since I walked into my first civil engineering class at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The curriculum I studied back then is largely the same as what our students at The University of Texas at Austin experience today.

A pair of Texas Engineering faculty members have been inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering’s (AIMBE) College of Fellows.

A new National Institutes of Health-funded project by three scientists at The University of Texas at Austin and University of Rhode Island aims to shed light on real-world eating behaviors, using AI-enabled wearable technology.

When people learn things they should not know, getting them to forget that information can be tough. This is also true of rapidly growing artificial intelligence programs that are trained to think as we do, and it has become a problem as they run into challenges based on the use of copyright-protected material and privacy issues.

To respond to this challenge, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin developed what they say is the first "machine unlearning" method applied to image-based generative AI.

A sodium battery developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin significantly reduces fire risks from the technology, while also relying on inexpensive, abundant materials to serve as its building blocks.

Biomedical researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new, less expensive way to detect nuclease digestion – one of the critical steps in many nucleic acid sensing applications, such as those used to identify COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.  

Texas Engineer Javad Mohammadi has dedicated his research to strengthening power grids, using artificial intelligence to make them more resistant to evolving threats.

The crash of waves on the beach to many is the picture of peace and relaxation, but it’s also an important moment in the surrounding landscape. Known as the swash zone, where waves run up the face of the beach, this area is where crucial sand movement occurs, shaping the world’s coastlines over time and impacting flooding and other weather events.
