How can AI systems recognize something they haven’t seen before? Join us next week as we welcome KD Kang, Ph.D., of @binghamtonu to @FloridaAtlantic to discuss a new approach to helping AI models better distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar data. 📅 Oct 15, 2026 ⏰ 11 am📍EE303 or Zoom 🔗RSVP: fau-edu.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

We followed our My Streetscapes students throughout the summer as they took their research from the streets of West Palm Beach to their final presentations. Now, we’re looking back at what six weeks of fieldwork, mentorship and research added up to. Read the recap: fau.edu/smart/news/streetsca… Many thanks to the entire team who made the summer a great one 👏

Most research starts with a question. Ours often ends up outside. Our researchers and students deploy sensors, collect data and test systems in the environments they’re designed to serve. Real-world data. Real-world systems. Real-world opportunities.

🚨Attn Postdocs!🚨 We're seeking two postdoctoral fellows specializing in real-time rendering and geospatial computing. Help advance digital twins and intelligent infrastructure. 🔗fau.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en… 🔗fau.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en…

From the research lab to industry — and back again... Doctoral student @MarjanNassajpo1 spent the summer at @TevaUSA, putting her research skills to work in a new environment and returning with a new perspective on her Alzheimer’s research with @BehnazGhoraani Read her story: fau.edu/smart/news/research-…

We’re hiring! 💻 The Institute for Smarter Cities, Spaces, and Health at @FloridaAtlantic is seeking a Software Engineer I in Boca Raton. Help build and deploy software supporting research and real-world technology projects across our institute. 🔗 Learn more + apply: fau.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/FA…

As @pbcgov weighs questions around camera technology and privacy, @WLRN highlights a different approach underway in @thecityofwpb See how institute executive director Jason Hallstrom and @CS3_NSF are advancing smart streetscape research with privacy built into the technology. 🔗 wlrn.org/government-politics…

Protecting patient data doesn’t automatically make healthcare AI secure🔓 New research from @A_Imteaj, and @fauengineering graduate students uncovers vulnerabilities that could affect shared AI models — and why security must be built in from the start. 🔗fau.edu/smart/news/secure-ye…

Welcome back, Owls! 🦉 A new semester means new opportunities to discover, collaborate and put research into action. We’re looking forward to another fall of bold ideas, hands-on learning and real-world impact across the Institute for Smarter Cities, Spaces, and Health. Here’s to a great semester! 👏

Institute faculty fellow @A_Imteaj recently spoke at the NAIRR Pilot Classroom Expansion Conference in Orlando, sharing strategies for bringing LLMs, multimodal AI and hands-on learning into computing curricula. 👏 Congrats, Ahmed, on the invited talk!

Our 2026 @NSF REU students designed, built, tested, questioned and adapted — discovering what they’re capable of and where research might take them next. Take a look back at their summer: fau.edu/isense/news/reu-reca…

Congratulations to Olamilekan Banjo, Ph.D., on successfully defending his dissertation and presenting his research at @IEEEorg EMBC in Toronto! 👏 Mentored by faculty fellow @BehnazGhoraani , Ph.D., his work advances wearable technology for real-time heart monitoring

Our friends at @FAUBrain need our votes! 🦉 Their MobileMinds program is a finalist for the @pbillustrated Education Innovation Award, recognizing its work bringing hands-on neuroscience and STEM education to students across Palm Beach County. 🗳️ Vote once a day through Aug. 25: palmbeachillustrated.com/inn… Let’s show our fellow Owls some support!

A strong finish to a summer of research! 👏 Students in our My Streetscape Summer Research Institute presented their final projects and shared their posters at the FAU OURI Summer Student Showcase. Congrats to this year's cohort on six weeks of research, discovery and growth!

For Emily and Grace, six weeks with the My Summer Streetscapes Research Institute grew into a year of research with I-SENSE, a second summer of research, and even took them to Italy to present at @IEEESmartComp 2026. See where their research journey has taken them: fau.edu/isense/news/isense-p…

Research isn't complete until it's shared. As the My Streetscape Summer Research Institute wraps up, students are preparing for their final presentations and the @fauouri Summer Student Showcase with new skills in research poster design and scientific communication. Thanks to Selah and Donna for leading a great workshop and helping prepare the next generation of researchers 👏

From the streets of West Palm Beach to the labs of Boca Raton. This week, our My Streetscape Summer Research Institute students toured I-SENSE and @fauengineering research labs and maker spaces, seeing firsthand how ideas become real-world technologies. The visit gave them a broader look at engineering, research and the many paths STEM can take. 📸:
