Brain stimulation, where targeted electrical impulses are directly applied to a patient's brain, is already an effective therapy for depression, epilepsy, Parkinson's and other neurological disorders, but many more applications are on the horizon. Clinicians and researchers believe the technique could be used to restore or improve memory and motor function after an injury, for...

CRIS Professors receive $1.2M NSF grant. The goal of this project is to create the knowledge to facilitate effective and efficient collaborative perception on top of a set of independent and multi-modal data generating agents. The project will study how to jointly model social and sensor data and use this modeling to efficiently support spatio-temporal...

CRIS student Tommaso Menara was awarded the Best Student Paper Award at the 2019 American Control Conference, which took place in Philadelphia in July. Tommaso is a student in Prof. Pasqualetti's lab and his research lies at the intersection between control theory and network neuroscience. Motivated by experimental recordings of synchronization phenomena in the human...

CRIS Professor receives a $1.5M grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research ( AFOSR) to characterize vulnerabilities of dynamic networks to attackers with different capabilities, knowledge, and objectives, and to design rigorous methods to protect dynamic networks and ensure resiliency to attacks. Dynamic networks are critical in multiple operating theaters of interest to...

CRIS Professors have been awarded with two equipment grants from ARO and ONR to acquire new robots and necessary computing units for learning-based robot navigation. See here

Profs. Bryan Wong and Juchen Guo receive DOE NETL grant for "Probing Particle Impingement in Boilers and Steam Turbines Using High-Performance Computing with Parallel Central Processing Units (CPUs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)". Read more here and here

CRIS Professors receive $1.2M Navy grant to make artificial intelligent systems smarter. AI systems have largely focused on analyzing data that has already been collected. That may be changing soon thanks to a $1.2M grant from the Office of Naval Research’s Science of Artificial Intelligence Program awarded to four UCR engineering professors. Building upon existing...
