A research team has introduced a cutting-edge deep learning model, AAUConvNeXt, for precise and efficient detection of rice lodging, a critical agricultural challenge that impacts yield prediction and disaster management.

Two quantum information theorists at the University of Sydney have solved a decades-old problem that will free up quantum computing power.

A recent study by researchers from CSIRO and the University of Melbourne has made progress in quantum machine learning, a field aimed at using quantum advantage to outperform classical machine learning. Their work demonstrates that quantum circuits for data encoding in quantum machine learning can be greatly simplified without compromising accuracy or robustness. This research was published Sept.12 in Intelligent Computing, a Science Partner Journal.

Lehigh University researcher Yu Yang, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering, recently received a grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a model that can estimate and predict how people move within cities, which could better inform applications ranging from public health policy to transportation and urban planning. The research team includes Lehigh collaborators Lichao Sun, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering, and Yue Yu, a professor of applied mathematics in Lehigh’s College of Arts and Sciences.

Chelsea Walton, a professor of mathematics at Rice University, has been named a 2025 fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), joining an exclusive group of 41 mathematicians worldwide who are being recognized for their exceptional contributions to the field. Walton’s selection underscores her dedication to advancing mathematical research, specifically her influence in noncommutative algebra, quantum symmetries, Hopf algebras and representation theory.
