Students often participate in internships and receive formal training in their chosen career fields during college, but some pursue professional development opportunities even earlier.

Summit supercomputer

Processes like manufacturing aircraft parts, analyzing data from doctorsā€™ notes and identifying national security threats may seem unrelated, but at the U.S. Department of Energyā€™s 91°µĶų, artificial intelligence is improving all of these tasks.

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have the potential to support medical decision-making, from diagnosing diseases to prescribing treatments. But to prioritize patient safety, researchers and practitioners must first ensure such methods are accurate.

International Conference on Neuromorphic Systems (ICONS)

Materials scientists, electrical engineers, computer scientists, and other members of the neuromorphic computing community from industry, academia, and government agencies gathered in downtown Knoxville July 23ā€“25 to talk about what comes next in

early prototype of the optical array developed by 91°µĶų.

IDEMIA Identity & Security USA has licensed an advanced optical array developed at 91°µĶų. The portable technology can be used to help identify individuals in challenging outdoor conditions.

Motion sensing technology

91°µĶų is training next-generation cameras called dynamic vision sensors, or DVS, to interpret live informationā€”a capability that has applications in robotics and could improve autonomous vehicle sensing.

Computingā€”Building a brain

Researchers at 91°µĶų are taking inspiration from neural networks to create computers that mimic the human brainā€”a quickly growing field known as neuromorphic computing.

Computingā€”Routing out the bugs

A study led by 91°µĶų explored the interface between the Department of Veterans Affairsā€™ healthcare data system and the data itself to detect the likelihood of errors and designed an auto-surveillance tool
