Shyu Named AMIA Fellow
Chi-Ren Shyu, a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and director of the University of Missouri's Institute for Data Science & Informatics, has been named a Fellow of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA).
Two departments at MU create meteorology app to visualize clouds in the sky
Atmospheric science Professor Eric Aldrich and members of the MU College of Engineering created the app MeterologyAR, which helps users learn about clouds. They created the app for meteorology students to identify the different types of clouds.
Mizzou’s Skubic helping shape rehab recovery
According to the American Stroke Association, stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. For patients recovering from a stroke, paralysis or loss of muscle movement on one side of the body can make daily chores and tasks more difficult to complete. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri have received more than $3 million from the National Institutes of Health to better assess and monitor patients recovering from stroke.
MU’s Guidoboni pens unique, interdisciplinary textbook
What do you do when there’s no textbook that fits the exact, unique nature of your course of study and research? You write your own. And Giovanna Guidoboni, MU professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and professor of Mathematics, did just that.
Award-winning Mizzou research seeks to detect apnea effects
A novel sensor prototype designed to noninvasively detect sleep apnea in infants recently earned a pair of Mizzou Electrical Engineering & Computer Science graduate students a couple of major accolades from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
MU’s Cheng utilizing deep learning expertise for key federal biofuel project
Mizzou Engineering’s Jianlin Cheng has put his world-class protein prediction skills to stellar use in the field of healthcare, and now, he’s part of a critical effort in bioenergy — one that could dramatically improve the prospects of biofuels as fossil fuel reserves dwindle.
MU Engineer developing sensor to improve bacteria detection in poultry
Detecting bacterial pathogens is critical for the poultry slaughtering plants and processing facilities that sell your chicken and turkey. And the quicker and more effective the test, the better it is both for consumers and those companies’ bottom lines. An interdisciplinary team of Mizzou and Lincoln University (Mo.) researchers has been perfecting an easy-to-use, portable sensor for years to solve this very issue.
Quick eyes can show level of situational awareness, MU study shows
Oil refinery safety technicians, air traffic controllers, security guards, TSA agents, nuclear power plant safety techs — these jobs and more are key to our safety. And all require the ability to monitor loads of information and adjust to any abnormal signals, which makes understanding their awareness and effectiveness in real time critical to public safety. Mizzou Engineering’s Jung Hyup Kim just discovered a way to do just that.
Studying chromosomes: Mizzou Engineering develops 3D modeling tool
Science has already allowed us to map the human genome – one of the biggest scientific achievements of our lifetimes. But to really take that achievement to the next level and use it to improve precision health and medicine, we need accurate 3D models to study chromosomes in great detail. A Mizzou Engineering researcher and his team have designed a tool to do just that.
