Congratulations to Christos Cassandras (SE, ECE) on receiving this year’s IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society Outstanding Research Award! His work focuses on autonomous vehicles and the systems that help them drive—work that could one day get rid of traffic lights altogether.

Cassandras spent more than 40 years studying how computers and machines make decisions. Lately, his work has focused on a problem nearly every driver knows well: sitting at a red light with no cross traffic in sight, wondering why it takes so long for the light to turn green.

That idea—proving with mathematical models and intelligent algorithms using cars’ relative speeds, mass, and distance as inputs that self-driving cars will behave safely before they are ever let loose on the streets—has become the foundation of Cassandras’s career and the reason his name keeps coming up in conversations about transportation.

Alongside colleagues from UCLA, the University of Washington, and several other partner organizations, Professor Kayhan Batmanghelich is working on a new NIH-supported effort to develop highly accurate, interpretable vision-language models for improved breast cancer survival predictions. Human-AI collaboration is key to their effort. https://www.bu.edu/eng/2026/09/28/ai-prognostics-with-pathologist-in-the-loop/

ECE senior Jeremiah Somoine aims to be the kind of AI engineer who challenges negative public opinion, not by finding the right “spin,” but by building platforms and applications that are transparent, trustworthy, and designed with genuine empathy for the user. His thoughtful approach to every component of his projects contrasts significantly with the cheap razzle-dazzle many have come to associate with generative AI.

On August 25, the New York Times published “This A.I. Start-Up Aims to Reverse the Backlash Against Data Centers: Emerald AI, now valued at $1.05 billion, uses software to keep power demand at the computing facilities from getting out of control.” The piece discusses recent trends in public opinion regarding the AI-driven build-out of data center facilities nationwide, as well as the work of Emerald AI, an ambitious start-up where Professor Ayșe Coskun (ECE, SE) serves as Chief Scientist.

Professor Douglas Densmore, an expert in computer-automated design and manufacture who specializes in synthetic biology and microfluidics, has long been dedicated to making the biotechnology field as accessible and collaborative as possible. A new $20 million grant from the NSF, part of a large national effort, offers all that and more.

The project will be used to enhance and extend the capacity of the Design, Automation, Manufacturing, and Processes (DAMP) Laboratory, founded by Densmore, which will become part of a national network of AI-powered "cloud" labs offering remote experimentation.

"We're trying to lower the barrier to engagement," says Densmore. “We hope long term it’s going to democratize the space and lower the capital expenses of building up a biotechnology company.”
