A new imaging technique turns motion blur into an advantage, using a jiggling camera and a clever algorithm to create super-resolution images sharper than would be possible with a steady camera.

Michael is working with colleagues to develop guidance for using AI in the classroom, looking for new opportunities in AI-enabled research and identifying how AI might help the University run even more effectively.

The program, first of its kind worldwide, aims to enable these young scientists to conduct high-quality, policy-informed AI research, to empower them to advocate for new AI policies or changes to existing policy, and to build a pipeline of qualified technologists to fill emerging needs in government.

“We don’t have a robust theory of humans,” Will Crichton says. But he’s working on it. Formerly a Brown CS postdoctoral researcher advised by Shriram Krishnamurthi, he returns to the Department this fall as assistant professor.
