TILOS Foundations team member Mikhail (Misha) Belkin is working toward a better understanding of how AI and generative AI models actually work. Belkin gave a talk at UC San Diego’s Generative AI Summit arguing that a method known as recursive feature machines—essentially an algorithm that selects features within neural networks and their training sets—is the […]
Congratulations to the Sloan Research Fellows of 2025, who represent the most promising early-career scientists working today. Their achievements and potential place them among the next generation of scientific leaders in the U.S. and Canada.
Engineering and medical researchers at Penn have developed a groundbreaking framework that can determine the best and most computationally optimized distribution strategy for COVID-19 vaccinations in any given community. Published in PLOS One, this study addresses one of the most critical challenges in pandemic response—how to prioritize vaccination efforts in communities with individuals of different […]
The research team, comprised of Saswati Sarkar, Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE), Shirin Saeedi Bidokhti, Assistant Professor in ESE, Harvey Rubin, a practicing physician at Penn Medicine and Professor of Infectious Diseases, and ESE doctoral student Raghu Arghal, designed their framework to be able to account for enough population complexity to determine the […]
Research to remotely pilot robots and improve how the machines model construction environments is well underway at UC San Diego. The team, led by electrical and computer engineering professors Truong Nguyen and Nikolay Atanasov, is looking for ways to integrate robotics into the construction industry and improve the 3D models and mapping they use to […]
The Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) is the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on outstanding scientists and engineers early in their careers. PECASE recognizes scientists and engineers who show exceptional potential for leadership early in their research careers. The award recognizes innovative and far-reaching developments in science and technology, […]
UC San Diego Today || Dirty, dull and dangerous: these are the types of jobs most fit for robotization. Yet, equipping robots to navigate dynamic environments and perform complex tasks is a tall order — even more so in the construction industry. University of California San Diego Electrical and Computer Engineering Professors Truong Nguyen and […]
Koushanfar is among the 170 fellows announced by the NAI this year whose innovations are making significant tangible societal and economic impacts today and will well into the future. Election to NAI Fellow is the highest professional distinction awarded solely to academic inventors.
TILOS members, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students will present more than two dozen research results at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), December 10-15, 2024 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The inaugural Curiosity Ignited academic symposium explored topics of AI and its connection to interdisciplinary research at UC San Diego. TILOS co-PI and Networks team co-lead Tara Javidi explained that much of her work looks at how scientific discovery can be done faster and at scale, “adding finesse to historic technology in a responsible way.”
