Engineers at Statler College are propelling exploration forward by creating control software for a group of aerial robots (aerobots) that will survey the atmosphere Venus, the second planet from the sun.

Drivers on winding West Virginia roads often encounter road damage caused by rockfalls, even if they aren’t present when the rocks tumble down the hillside. Statler College researchers hope to cut down on these events, as a pair of engineers have examined countermeasures considered useful in mitigating rockfalls, which can result in vehicle damage, traffic disruptions and injury or death to motorists.

Anurag Srivastava, professor and chairperson of the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering in the Statler College, has been named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical Engineers.

A graphics processing unit computer cluster called “Dolly Sods” will enable researchers throughout the state to accelerate computational research in fields such as drug development, interstellar phenomena, biometrics, material design and business logistics and management.
