Using a novel approach for computing real-time game strategy, engineers have developed an artificial Ms. Pac-Man player that chomps the existing high score for computerized play.
Researchers at Cornell, Georgia Tech and the U.S. Forest Service have found that when an animal preserve corridor includes areas that are hospitable to two species, the cost is far less than it would be to create separate corridors for each one.
The “New Day at the MTA” conference, co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech and the Empire State Development Corporation, explored solutions for an aging transit system that moves 8.6 million people a day.
Tanzeem Choudhury, associate professor of information science, is part of a group that was recently awarded a National Science Foundation grant to explore how measuring people’s biological clocks can help improve their performance or lower their stress.
Cornell mathematicians are using game theory to model how the competition between cancer cells can be leveraged, so cancer treatment – which takes a toll on the patient’s body – might be administered more sparingly, with maximized effect.
First-of-their-kind observations reveal new details about melting at the grounding line of the vulnerable Thwaites Glacier that is contributing to its retreat and potentially to sea-level rise, according to Cornell researchers and international collaborators.
A new multidisciplinary collaborative research graduate degree program at Cornell will combine architectural research with study in material computation, adaptive architecture and digital fabrication.
Cornell Tech has fostered community connections through partnerships with Roosevelt Island residents, the City University of New York, and local schools in New York City and Ithaca in advance of the dedication of the Roosevelt Island campus Sept. 13.
