Training large AI models to different tasks often requires adjusting millions—or even billions—of internal settings called parameters, using enormous amounts of computing power and energy. But Johns Hopkins computer scientists have developed a method that dramatically cuts the environmental costs of fine-tuning AI. They call it EigenLoRAx and, like the Dr. Seuss character, it’s a […]
Research drives scientific progress. At Johns Hopkins and at institutions across the nation, dedicated scientists are uncovering knowledge and insights that lead to critical and lifesaving treatments and technologies. In the series “Research Matters,” we highlight groundbreaking research and the committed scientists making it happen at Johns Hopkins Biomedical Engineering. Johns Hopkins University biomedical engineer Jean Fan and her team develop—and freely share—computational tools that give researchers everywhere the ability to […]
Jeremias Sulam, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering, has been appointed as the William R. Brody Faculty Scholar. Established in 2008 by Robert Seder, university trustee, and Deborah L. Harmon in honor of former JHU President William R. Brody, the award supports promising young faculty in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Sulam’s research focuses on […]
Jerry Prince, the William B. Kouwenhoven Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Whiting School of Engineering and a core faculty member of the Johns Hopkins Data Science and AI Institute (DSAI), has received a 2025 DSAI Demonstration Projects grant for his project, “Unique White Matter Lesion Tracking Algorithm as a Community Resource for Neurological Disorders.” Developed […]
A bouncing ball that never falls, or a person who seemingly glides across a room without taking a step? These are just some of the oddities that can emerge from today’s most advanced AI video generators. Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a new framework called DiffPhy that corrects these physics-defying glitches by bringing real-world physical laws into […]
Stephanie Hicks, an associate professor of biomedical engineering and biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University, has been named a fellow of the American Statistical Association (ASA), the largest community of statisticians in the world. Hicks is among the 46 scientists, engineers, and innovators elected as 2025 fellows in recognition of their professional contributions, leadership, and commitment to […]
Yu Sun, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering and a core faculty member of the Data Science and AI Institute (DSAI), has been honored with the Conference on Parsimony and Learning (CPAL) Rising Stars Award. The award recognizes exceptional early-career researchers in machine learning, signal processing, and optimization. Sun was selected […]
In a high-stakes poker game, knowing when your opponent is bluffing and being able to read a subtle smile or frown can make the difference between walking away with the pot or going home empty-handed. But for AI, decoding these nuanced facial cues, whether for identity verification, bias detection, or facial recognition, remains a major […]
Research drives scientific progress. At Johns Hopkins and at institutions across the nation, dedicated scientists are uncovering knowledge and insights that lead to critical and lifesaving treatments and technologies. In the series “Research Matters,” we highlight groundbreaking research and the committed scientists making it happen at Johns Hopkins Biomedical Engineering. Many brain disorders are nearly impossible to diagnose until symptoms become apparent, making early intervention a challenge. But groundbreaking […]
Adam Charles, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, has earned a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The highly competitive CAREER award recognizes early-career faculty who successfully combine research with mentoring and education. Charles is receiving $718,681 over the next five years to further his work on developing a brain-wide framework for understanding cognition and behavior. The brain’s complex intelligence emerges from the interaction of […]
