Research and Innovation
Creating Smart Cities of the Future
Right next to where the Clemson Tigers play home basketball games, an intersection wired with cameras and communications devices is providing a glimpse into how smart cities of the future might work.
Shaping the future of AI and cybersecurity
Clemson University researchers are bringing together two of the computing world’s most in-demand fields-- cybersecurity and artificial intelligence to help protect internet users from a wide range of threats.
Protecting the internet from hackers and cyberbullies
Researchers have developed a way of detecting malware attacks against cameras and other internet-connected devices that don’t have enough memory for anti-virus software and other usual means of protection.
Protecting privacy online
A system created at Clemson University aims to help people enjoy the benefits of online services without sacrificing their privacy.
AI could help speed 3D printing
Researchers said they will create a “digital lifecycle platform” augmented with artificial intelligence as part of a project aimed at helping speed up development of new 3D-printed components for next-generation vehicles and other vital military equipment.
Spinning light could lead to new ways of communicating
New technology could control an unusual property of light, making it possible to channel through fog, murky water and thermal turbulence, potentially leading to new ways of communicating and gathering data.
Shaping the future of mobility
A new, $18-million center will give Clemson University engineers a chance to work across disciplines to help shape the future of mobility in partnership with the U.S. Army Ground Vehicle Systems Center.
Educational Initiatives
Students learn about their ‘superpower’ from a Silicon Valley cancer survivor
Bill Paseman figures he has about two years to find therapies for his rare, untreatable kidney cancer. His best hope could be a group of Clemson University students and faculty and the artificial intelligence they have created.
Boyd Scholars: Pursuing their dreams
Boyd Scholars is searching for new funding sources after a highly successful launch that helped keep undergraduates on track to realize their dreams of becoming engineers.
The next generation of technological talent in advanced manufacturing
With $4 million in funding from the National Science Foundation, a new project called A2 proposes to build on the success of Clemson University’s Center for Aviation and Automotive Technological Education using Virtual E-Schools (CA2VES).
