How cuts to federal research funding are impacting Oregon academics We’ll talk with three Oregon researchers whose funding was cancelled about the negative impact the cuts will have on efforts to address health disparities in the U.S.

Tala Navab-Daneshmand, associate professor of environmental engineering and the Warwick Family Engineering Faculty Scholar, was among several academics who appeared on OPB’s “Think Out Loud” to discuss how cuts to federal research funding are affecting their work and the broader academic community.

Geomatics assistant professors Ezra Che and Chase Simpson, discussed the growing challenge of attracting young talent to the geospatial industry. They highlight the importance of innovative strategies and educational initiatives to engage the next generation of geospatial professionals.

Span of disaster: US bridges face deadly risk of ship ramming, study finds A year after Baltimore's deadly bridge collapse, a new study shows such incidents remain likely because of larger ships and increased traffic.

Christopher Higgins, professor of structural engineering at Oregon State, said a lack of protective measures are likely more to blame than structural deficiencies.

“The main way you avoid ship impact, especially with large container ships, is with tugboats,” said Higgins.

Alan Fern, professor of computer science, AI, and Robotics at Oregon State added that there are many companies in China, the US and Europe that are developing their own humanoid robots but says there’s no “clear leader” in the industry at this point.

What if chatbots could help doctors diagnose rare diseases? 🤔

A team of Oregon State University students and faculty, along with a rare disease expert at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB), have created a chatbot for medical professionals called Radiant.

Here's why you should pay attention to Oregon State Engineering's influence in robotics in AI. 👀

"We're not just training semiconductor engineers and semiconductor scientists, we're also training new generations of those folks who understand how to develop and use AI," said Tom Weller.

Solving the semiconductor workforce gap | College of Engineering The race is on to bring back semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. The industry got a huge boost from the federal CHIPS and Science Act in 2022, which invested $52.7 billion in the industry. Oregon ...

The semiconductor industry is thriving in Oregon. ✨

The industry received a boost from the federal CHIPS and Science Act ($52.7 billion). Oregon followed with its own CHIPS Act ($240 million).

But there's a significant workforce gap. Leaders in the College of Engineering are helping to fill it.

After a week of DeepSeek freakout, doubts and mysteries remain The hard lessons learned from the DeepSeek models may ultimately help U.S. AI companies and speed progress toward human-level AI.

DeepSeek claimed it trained its new AI model for $5.6 million.

“To experiment with and identify a system configuration and mix of tricks that would result in a $5M training run, they likely spent orders of magnitude more,” said Oregon State's Alan Fern, professor of Robotics and AI.

Thoughts?🤔

You're right. How's this?

Given a non-linear, time-variant system with a state-space representation, how would you determine the stability margins using Lyapunov's direct method, considering the system's eigenvalue spectrum and the associated Lyapunov function candidate?

Why wouldn't our first post on @bsky.app be about robots?

Researchers from Oregon State recently had the opportunity to test Spot, a four-legged robot, in a variety of real-world scenarios at the Department of Defense's RDAX Dragon Spear Event. This event aimed to explore new defense technologies.
