Improving seizure monitoring with machine learning
For people with epilepsy, simply knowing when a seizure will occur could make a huge difference for their quality of life and reduce the risk of bodily harm. Although some people have warning signs, seizures are generally unpredictable and potentially life-threatening. Epilepsy affects around 2.9 million adults and 465,000 children nationwide and costs billions in healthcare expenses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Aiming for Safer Skies through UAS research
More than a decade ago, Oregon State University was selected as a core member of a national alliance of experts dedicated to safely integrating uncrewed aircraft systems into national and international airspace.
The Federal Aviation Administration Center of Excellence for UAS Research called ASSURE — the Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence — is a coalition of 21 core universities, 11 affiliated universities, and over 100 industry and government partners, with Mississippi State University serving as the lead institution.
Using AI to find new purposes for existing drugs
Imagine a future where a drug originally developed for one disease is quickly and safely repurposed to treat another — potentially saving years of research and millions of dollars. Thanks to the pioneering work of researchers at Oregon State University’s College of Engineering, that future is coming into focus.
Strong support stabilizes funding for the Open Source Lab
Oregon State University’s Open Source Lab, a key contributor to global open-source projects and a career launchpad for students, has resolved a recent funding crisis and is moving forward with plans for long-term stability.
The lab has supported major projects such as Mozilla Firefox, the Linux Foundation, and the Apache Software Foundation, while continuing to host key platforms like Drupal. Its infrastructure and technical expertise have helped open-source projects grow from early development into globally recognized technologies.
