“Big Tech is throwing huge amounts of data and compute at the problem—we’re taking the opposite approach.” Professor @ShyamGollakota spoke to @WIRED about how @UW #UWAllen spinout Hearvana uses #AI to enable people to customize their soundscape. wired.com/story/welcome-to-t… #AIforGood
From recyclable electronics to #AI for estimating carbon footprints (and more), @UW #UWAllen’s Zhihan Zhang is using his @Googleorg Ph.D. Fellowship to advance sustainable ubiquitous computing for healthy people and a healthy planet. #ThisIsUW #AIforGood news.cs.washington.edu/2025/…
“We forget how complicated these physical manipulation tasks are. You have to be simultaneously forceful and delicate.” @UW #UWAllen professor @siddhss5 to @uwengineering on getting to grips with one of the biggest challenges in #robotics: engr.washington.edu/news/art… #ICYMI #ThisIsUW
If you’re tired of trying to hear people in a crowd, how does this sound? @UW researchers led by #UWAllen’s @ShyamGollakota developed #AI headphones that automatically identify and isolate the wearer’s conversation partner in real time.#ThisIsUW #AIforGood washington.edu/news/2025/12/…
We’re proud to have been named a “Top Dawg in Safety” by @UW Environmental Health & Safety for 2025! Thanks to the #UWAllen Facilities team, Robotics Lab, Fabrication Research Lab, MISL and all our research labs for putting safety first for our colleagues! ehs.washington.edu/about/lat…
You may have heard @UW @UW_MSoccer are national champions 🤩. We get a kick out of the fact that 3 #UWAllen majors are on the roster. ⚽️ Congratulations to Egor Akulov, Jadon Bowton, Sheehan Ganguly and the entire team on an amazing season and a historic win! #ThisIsUW 💜💛
What time is it? It’s GigaTIME! A team at @UW #UWAllen, @MSFTResearch and @Providence unveiled an #AI tool that generates detailed cancer tumor data at scale using standard pathology slides—at a fraction of the time and cost of prior methods: geekwire.com/2025/microsoft-… #ThisIsUW
Let them cook: To explore if #AI agents can adapt to different cultures, @UW #UWAllen researchers fed them data from a kitchen simulation game and found the AI learned cultural values from observing human behavior—like children do. @PLOSONE #HCI #AIforGood washington.edu/news/2025/12/…
When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a roving tree chased by a robot reindeer…🤖 Happy howl-idays, Huskies, from Spot & your friends in the @UW @uwengineering #UWAllen Robotics Lab! Have a roaring good time over break, and see you next year.🦖(Watch to the end🐕!)
Video description (1/2): A @BostonDynamics Spot robot follows a decorated Christmas tree as it wanders various sites on the University of Washington campus, including a visit to the @burkemuseum dinosaur exhibit, to the tune of The Nutcracker's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
Can smart technologies help people experiencing homelessness? #UWAllen’s @kheimerl and @infrared_ether worked with tiny house villages in Seattle to explore their potential for managing infrastructure and other community needs. #ThisIsUW #CSCW #HCI #IoT news.cs.washington.edu/2025/…
It’s been 11 years since Michael Abrash, Chief Scientist at Meta Reality Labs Research, gave a talk at @UW on virtual reality’s potential. At today’s #UWAllen Distinguished Lecture, he’ll look back at how #VR has evolved and where the field is headed next. cs.washington.edu/news-event…
Join us in person at 3:30 pm PST in the Amazon Auditorium in the Bill & Melinda Gates Center or watch the live stream on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/uwcse
In 2023, @UW researchers introduced GlucoScreen, a tool for prediabetes screening with a smartphone. Now, #UWAllen’s Jason Hoffman is working to put a plug-and-play app into the hands of clinicians and people at risk. #diabetesawarenessmonth💙 #UWinnovates engr.washington.edu/news/art…
ALT Portrait of Jason Hoffman alongside quote "Diabetes is a major and growing burden…Preventive care can make a huge difference, especially when risks can be identified early. GlucoScreen isn’t going to solve diabetes, but it could be a very helpful part of the solution." – Jason Hoffman (Ph.D., ‘25)
Congratulations to @UW #UWAllen programming team Jiakrico on their 1st place finish at the @ICPCNews Pacific Northwest Regional Contest earlier this month! Next up: The North America Championship in March. 🎉 🏆 Final standings: pnw.na.icpc.global/scoreboar…
