SPRING 2024

The funding will support the development of new cutting-edge courses, a critical infrastructure security lab, and research activities focusing on intelligent systems and protecting critical infrastructure in the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.

When the weather gets bad, researchers at West Virginia University have underserved communities in mind, especially during a power outage.

Created by a WVU 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.

The WVU Master of Science in Software Engineering (MSSE) online graduate program courses address new technologies, improving software engineering’s ability to architect and design secured advanced complex software systems.

As one of less than two dozen undergraduate programs offered in the United States, the robotics engineering degree is a 124-credit interdisciplinary course of study created from partnering efforts of the mechanical and aerospace engineering department and the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. To form a solid foundation, students will take courses equally distributed from both departments, followed by a group of core courses specifically on robotics and a robotics capstone design experience.

Brian Powell, teaching assistant professor in the Lane Department, has been named the College’s Outstanding Educator of the Year. Ronald Reaser, teaching instructor in the Lane Department was recognized as one of three Outstanding Educators in the College. Donald Adjeroh, associate chair for faculty development and research, and professor in the Lane Department has been named the College’s Researcher of the Year and Outstanding Researcher at the senior level.

A determination to position WVU at the forefront of computer sciences and electrical engineering has inspired two alumni: a tech pioneer Rouzbeh Yassini and software entrepreneur Michael Manley, to contribute $750,000 to produce long-term alliances with best-in-class academic leaders.

Students at the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources will have access to cutting-edge biometrics resources thanks to a gift from IDEMIA National Security Solutions, a leading provider of biometric, identity and access solutions that has supported the security of U.S. government, intelligence and defense agencies for more than 60 years.

Dear friends and colleagues,

The end of the spring semester brought warmer temperatures and the joyful faces of graduating students and their families. We are incredibly proud of these hardworking and outstanding students and the dedication they have shown. This past spring semester, we celebrated the exceptional accomplishments of our students, faculty, and staff through various recognition events. I invite you to explore this newsletter, which highlights the remarkable achievements within our Lane Department.

We extend our gratitude to our distinguished alumni for their dedication to our extended professional family through financial support and to our industry partners for providing opportunities to upgrade. Our strategic focus in areas such as digital health, energy systems, artificial intelligence, computer vision, robotics, cybersecurity, and biometrics, continues to be on addressing society's most pressing challenges, and we look forward to further growth and impact.

Thank you for your ongoing support and involvement in our mission.
