What if easing dry eye symptoms started with the air inside your home? researchers are exploring whether simple improvements to indoor air quality could offer relief for a condition that affects up to 30% of people worldwide.

Backed by a $5.5 million National Eye Institute grant, the multidisciplinary team will study nearly 400 participants and test low-cost interventions including air purifiers, humidity control, and improved ventilation.

People often ask how large institutions actually make financial decisions and what those decisions are designed to serve.

In this conversation, President Joe Echevarria breaks down how the University of Miami approaches those decisions in practice, how resources are prioritized, how tradeoffs are evaluated, and how funding stays aligned with long-term mission and priorities.

At the intersection of music and engineering, students are turning creativity into technical innovation.

The Music Engineering Technology program gives students the opportunity to develop as musicians while building technical expertise across software, hardware, and audio engineering.

Over the past five years, students have received scholarships and awards from professional organizations, including two Audio Engineering Society honors.

Florida’s Coral Reef has lost nearly 99% of its elkhorn and staghorn corals but Rosenstiel is bringing 12 organizations together to help give the next generation of corals a fighting chance.

Over seven days, scientists collected coral eggs and s***m, strategically fertilized them to promote resilient genetic combinations, and preserved additional s***m for future restoration. The effort produced more than 1.5 million embryos and ultimately more than 108,000 elkhorn and staghorn larvae.

“Our reef is in trouble, and we need to take urgent action to scale up efforts to help restore and rebuild one of the state’s most valuable environmental and economic resources.” — Andrew Baker, professor of marine biology and ecology at the Rosenstiel School

study found that AI can provide hurricane forecasters an earlier look at which tropical disturbances may become the next named storm.

Led by Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science professor Sharan Majumdar, researchers compared a traditional forecasting system with a newer AI model using Atlantic storm data from 2020 through 2024. Rather than replacing traditional forecasting, the research suggests AI and physics-based models could work together to give forecasters a more complete picture of developing storms.

“Better identification of developing systems several days in advance could give forecasters more time to monitor disturbances, assess possible tracks and communicate emerging risks.” — Sharan Majumdar, professor of atmospheric sciences

Nearly three-quarters of Earth is covered by oceans, but much of what lies beneath remains unseen. engineers are using sonar and AI to improve underwater exploration.

With support from a new Office of Naval Research grant, Professor Shahriar Negahdaripour and doctoral student Guilherme Oliveira are using machine learning to better understand how sonar turns sound waves into images and how those images can reveal more about underwater environments. Their goal is to transform 2D sonar images into more accurate 3D models that could improve marine research, search-and-rescue missions, and offshore infrastructure inspections.
