  1. Predoctoral Fellowship for mathematically provable hardware design

    Goel designs algorithms that can automatically demonstrate the correctness of hardware systems.

  2. Researchers to use brain scans to understand gender bias in software development

    The team will use fMRI to identify some of the underlying processes that occur when a code reviewer weighs in on a piece of software and its author.

  3. ‘Largest radio telescope in space’ to improve solar storm warnings

    NASA has selected University of Michigan’s $62M Explorer cubesat mission.
