Across the Princeton campus, a diffuse group of research software engineers are tackling the challenge of making research code reproducible and sustainable head-on. Stationed across departments, the RSEs — as they’re referred to in shorthand — work to support computational research projects run by faculty.

The University is pushing limits, accelerating discovery and serving humanity. Nimble teams and muscular resources keep us at the forefront.

The AI boom brings with it opportunities for great benefits — but risks for individual and societal harm are inevitable as well. In a seminar hosted by the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning, Assistant Professor Jaime Fernández Fisac shared some of the ways he and his colleagues at the Safe Robotics Laboratory are using machine learning to work toward ensuring that humans are protected from harm when operating and co-existing with robotic systems.

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has named Boris Hanin, Chi Jin and Aleksandra Korolova 2024 Sloan Research Fellows. The fellowships honor creative early-career researchers in the sciences and social sciences.
