ALT A detailed underwater image of the bow of the steamship Iona, encrusted with dense colonies of mussels. The shipwreck rests intact on the lakebed, with railings and structural features still visible.
ALT Jake Bonney gives a thumbs-up while seated in a wheelchair at Journey Forward, a neuro-recovery center. Behind him is a colorful chalkboard welcoming him by name.
ALT Four students and researchers collaborate in a lab surrounded by technical equipment. A computer monitor displays biometric data like heart rate, respiration, and temperature. Text reads: “URI Researchers: Bringing Innovations from Lab Bench to Market. NSF-backed research by three engineering professors at URI is fueling life-changing innovations—and the startups bringing them to market.”
ALT Portrait of Professor Walter Besio smiling in a blue button-down shirt, standing with hands in pockets. Text reads: “Walter Besio can read your thoughts.” The caption explains he developed a noninvasive device to read and stimulate brainwaves, now in clinical trials to detect and prevent seizures, and launched CREmedical to bring it to market.
ALT Portrait of Professor Ken Yang wearing glasses and a light-blue shirt, seated at a desk with computer components. Text reads: “The bottleneck in computer speed wasn’t processing power, but memory.” Caption describes how Yang developed technology to improve memory efficiency, leading to the founding of VeloBit and decades of innovation supported by NSF.
ALT Portrait of Professor Kunal Mankodiya in a gray sweater and glasses, seated in a lab. Text reads: “Weaving Medical Treatment into Everyday Life.” The caption describes how his wearable biosensing lab creates smart gloves, shoes, and belts for medical monitoring, leading to startups like WellAware to help underserved communities.

ALT An aerial view of campus shows Green Hall and the surrounding area lit by dappled, golden light from the rising sun on a quiet fall morning. A navy and Keaney blue shield-shaped badge on top displays the University of Rhode Island's logo and says, "Carnegie classification R1, top-tier research university."
ALT The image is an advertisement for a Nuclear Engineering Graduate Certificate program offered by URI Online at the University of Rhode Island. The background features an abstract design resembling nuclear particle models with glowing spheres and connected lines on a dark blue backdrop, creating a sense of depth and complexity. In the foreground, large white text announces the program, highlighting key offerings and features. There is a rectangular white section at the bottom left listing four attributes of the program, each marked with a blue checkmark. At the bottom of the image, in a small dark blue footer, the application deadline and a URL are displayed. The text on the graphic says the following: URI Online Nuclear Engineering Graduate Certificate Tackle complex challenges, innovate solutions, and utilize cutting-edge nuclear engineering theory and practice effectively. ✓ 12-Credits ✓ Fully-Online ✓ Flexible Schedule ✓ No GRE/GMAT Required
