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."

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.

Research Startup Showcase
Postdoc researcher Yanqiao Li Th'25, advised by Professor Jason Stauth, presented his startup, uDrive, at The Engine's Blueprint Showcase in Boston—the culmination of a program that helps researchers build "tough tech" startups. Leveraging Li's PhD research at Thayer, uDrive develops technologies for next-generation haptics and compact cooling solutions for mobile devices. Smartphones currently use basic haptics [vibrations] for notifications," Li explained. "High-definition haptics, enabled by new piezoelectric actuators, can do much more—such as allowing you to feel the texture of clothes while shopping online. The widespread adoption of this technology, however, is currently limited by a lack of high-voltage, energy-efficient electronics. Our startup is bridging this gap."
