NSF: New forecasting algorithm helps predict hurricane intensity and wind speed

The National Science Foundation has covered the hurricane modeling research of SMU engineers Yu Su, Michael Hahsler and Margaret Dunham in a Dec. 5 "Discoveries" article on its web site. Su, Hahsler and Dunham have written a white paper on their method for predicting hurricanes: "Learning a Prediction Interval Model for Hurricane Intensities." The three scientists are in the SMU Lyle School's Department of Computer Science and Engineering.

Wired: Lasers Power Pentagon’s Next-Gen Artificial Limbs

Reporter Katie Drummond with Wired magazine has covered the research of SMU engineers Marc Christensen and Volkan Otugen. Christensen and Otugen are working as part of a consortium with industry and other universities to develop technology that will someday help amputees have "feeling" in their artificial limbs. The research is funded through a $5.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense and industry for a center led by SMU's Lyle School of Engineering.
