All presentations from last week’s Horizons for Optimization in AI Workshop are now available to view!
TILOS Networks Team co-lead Alejandro Ribeiro, a professor in the departments of electrical & systems engineering and computer & information science at University of Pennsylvania, has been named the Solomon and Sylvia G. Charp Professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering.
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 […]
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 […]
