AI in Computer Science Education: Closing the New Digital Divide in K–12

Professor Rafe Steinhauer is quoted in an article about efforts in K-12 schools to integrate generative AI guidelines and instruction into curricula and policy. "[School] districts are never going to have more power to shape the use of GenAI in their communities than right now, so it's imperative that they act collectively, guided by their core educational values," said Steinhauer.

AI agents, tech circularity: What’s ahead for platforms in 2026

Professor Geoffrey Parker is one of four experts outlining four emerging trends that show where platforms are heading next. "The code assistance is certainly here," said Parker. "It's valuable, but the tech debt is actually a strategic risk and could be really expensive, especially for incumbent organizations."

Better Printed Solar Cells

Postdoc Yanan Li, PhD students Julia Huddy and Masha Klymenko, and Professor Will Scheideler coauthored "Spatial-Uniformity–Driven Bayesian Optimization for Rapid Development of Printed Perovskite Solar Cells" published in Small. (This came out of work recently funded by DOE in Scheideler's SENSE Lab.) "Metal halide perovskites are a promising emerging solar technology, but challenges in reliability and large‑area scalability still hinder widescale adoption. This work uses a machine‑learning–driven Bayesian optimization approach to improve the uniformity of printed perovskite films—addressing a key bottleneck for scaling low‑cost, roll‑to‑roll manufacturing and enabling higher‑efficiency, more reliable solar cells," said Scheideler.

Toward Optimal Auctions

PhD student Mai Pham, will present her paper, coauthored with professors Vikrant Vaze and Peter Chin, titled "Advancing Differentiable Mechanism Design: Neural architectures for combinatorial auctions" for a workshop at the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems. Although auctions are considered an effective way of allocating limited resources when demand is high, designing auctions that are simultaneously optimal for the participants, system operator, and greater society is challenging. The paper presents a new approach that leverages modern deep learning architectures and algorithms to meet this challenge.

TERMIS-AM Conference Winner

Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Founder and CEO of NovaGyn Becca Thomson '20 Th'21 Th'25 attended the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society Americas Conference in Detroit. There she was a finalist in the Business Plan Competition and winner of the $1,000 People's Choice Award and $2,000 Judges' Award. "Winning these awards was an incredible honor and a huge validation for NovaGyn's mission of advancing surgical solutions in women's health," said Thomson. "I'm thrilled that our innovative approach to tissue engineering resonated with both experts and the community. This recognition motivates us to continue pushing the boundaries of regenerative medicine and bring meaningful solutions to patients worldwide."
