Four A. James Clark School of Engineering faculty members are among the honorees of the University of Maryland’s (UMD) 2025 Distinguished University Professor and Professional Track Faculty Excellence awards. The Maryland engineers will be
The BBI annual seed grant competition strives to generate novel tools and promote multidisciplinary approaches to understand complex behaviors produced by the nervous system. It has yielded an over 900% return through investments from gover…
BBI investigators study the neural substrates of cognition, combining theories of cognitive psychology and computational modeling with experimental data. Meet our investigators in this area and discover BBI seed projects that employ this le…
One major obstacle to water reuse is consumers’ negative perceptions of recycled water, or the “yuck factor.” This project leverages expertise in water reuse, communication, and cutting-edge neural activity measurements to move beyond self-…
The presence of sidewalks and chain-link fences indicate something about the health of a neighborhood, a new UMD-led study has found. Fences are linked to higher levels of chronic diseases and health risks, while sidewalks point to healthie…
Detecting and classifying human emotion is one of the most challenging problems at the confluence of psychology, affective computing, kinesiology, and data science. This research examines the role of age and gender on gait-based emotion rec…
BBI investigators study neuronal function within circuits and larger brain networks in encoding, learning, storing, and predicting information for perception, executive function and movement. Meet our investigators in this area and discover…
BBI investigators examine the fundamentals of brain structure and function, focusing on gene expression, signaling pathways and the molecular composition of synapses and circuits. Meet our researchers in this area and discover some of the B…
