Created by a West Virginia University faculty member and his former graduate student, syGlass — virtual reality software that displays scientific images in immersive 3D — will soon offer AI analysis and cloud-based streaming for extremely large datasets required by scientists like structural biologists.
An artificial intelligence study at West Virginia University is focused on habanero peppers for now, but project lead Donald Adjeroh said the work could one day support prevention or treatment of genetic disease.
Simulations from West Virginia University researchers demonstrate their use of two kinds of industrial wastewater to decontaminate each other has the potential to slash a power plant’s total water use.
In the event of a power outage, no one wants to be left in the dark. Researchers in the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources are joining a project led by Illinois utility company Commonwealth Edison to develop algorithms and technology to fortify power grid systems, allowing for better flexibility and security during extreme weather events.
With the ongoing threat of cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated, West Virginia University is launching plans for a cybersecurity range — a specialized software and hardware facility for education, training and research — with $750,000 in grant funding support from the United States Department of Education.
A West Virginia University research team is working on ways to eliminate the rampant human-made radio interference from cell phones, televisions and radar systems that can block the detection of radio signals by astronomers.
Appalachian Regional Commission has awarded West Virginia University $1.5 million in funding to develop and deploy smart grid solutions and modeling services in rural parts of the eastern United States. This innovative project will lead to the formation of Smart Grid Deployment Consortium and HILLTOP+ Platform, which will test and model storage technology in smart grids and assist rural electric utilities by developing evaluation tools for energy storage.
Two wrongs aren’t supposed to make a right, but Lian-Shin "Lance" Lin, professor and chair of the Wadsworth Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, has discovered how combining two kinds of contaminated water can yield pure, clean water.
A $500,000 gift to West Virginia University is fueling laboratory renovations needed to launch a groundbreaking new midstream petroleum engineering program at the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources.
