Alan Fern and Sinisa Todorovic would like to teach computers and robots to have a little common sense.

Carlo Tiana is a man with a passion for vision — literally. A Vision Systems Fellow at Collins Aerospace (a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies), Tiana has been developing and mentoring capstone projects for students in the College of Engineering at Oregon State University for several years.

Oregon State Engineers are developing a new generation of energy storage and production technologies that could shake up the solar power landscape. One induces algae to produce half its weight in clean-burning biofuels, while another could yield inexpensive, flexible rooftop solar panels. A third might power entire cities, and a fourth will store vast amounts of solar-generated power indefinitely at low cost.
