The course tackles cybersecurity issues including deepfakes, copyright, privacy, national security and decision-making.

Code analysis tools are crucial in preventing security vulnerabilities, but they’re difficult to develop and maintain because they must often deeply integrate with monolithic compilers. Enter: Malte’s work to “catalyze innovation” with compilers.

It focuses on transformorphic computing, a fundamentally new approach to automatically and correctly improving widely deployed systems without burdening their users and with strong guarantees about their behavior. 

In her solo paper, written when Kathi was a faculty member at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, she returns to and makes progress on Soloway’s Rainfall problem, often used to assess student programming skills in introductory courses. 

The ultimate goal is to produce new systems that enable practitioners to focus solely on creating and improving the accuracy of modern AI systems, without having to worry about details related to efficient execution and resource management.

"My courses focus equally on the technical and artistic processes involved in creating computer imagery and animation. While resources for the technical side are abundant, I draw on my own experience as a painter to teach the artistic side.”

Shriram Krishnamurthi has received one of software engineering’s highest honors for his lasting contributions to the foundations and growth of the discipline.

Following a University report on AI, Brown leaders discuss aligning AI policy with academic excellence, safeguarding academic integrity, supporting faculty and students, and preserving critical thinking in the age of AI.
