Micatu Inc. donated its groundbreaking Gridview optical sensors to RIT for a new campus learning lab. The equipment allows faculty and students to monitor renewable integration and manage the addition of distributed energy resources onto the campus microgrid.
The sustainable children’s clothing brand, Chickadee, Daeya Shealy designed for her capstone project was exhibited in April at RIT City Art Space in downtown Rochester.
Daeya Shealy ’21 (Industrial Design) has long held an affinity for Germany. She grew up learning the country’s native language and about its culture in great depth.
Her knowledge can be traced back to fourth grade in her native Atlanta, where she started taking German classes. Not long after, she began attending Concordia Language Villages’ German cultural immersion program, continuing every summer through high school as first a camper and then a counselor.
Both experiences led to Shealy becoming highly proficient in German. It’s a skill that will be especially beneficial as she prepares for her first professional maneuver after graduating this spring from RIT’s Industrial Design program. She earned a Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals (CBYX) fellowship to study and work as
Elizabeth Lamark Ashley Tucker will travel to Nigeria at the end of the summer on a Fulbright Research award to help improve rapid diagnostic testing for malaria.
Ashley Tucker, a graduating senior majoring in biomedical sciences and biology in RIT’s College of Health Sciences and Technology and College of Science, will travel to Nigeria at the end of the summer on a Fulbright Research award. Tucker will work with a malaria research group at University of Ibadan College of Medicine. Her research will help improve the rapid diagnostic testing for the deadly tropical disease.
The mosquito-borne parasite that causes malaria can carry a mutation that leads to false negative tests. Tucker will analyze samples collected from people across Nigeria for mutations and compare her findings to the rapid diagnostic test results. Her research will create a regional picture of where the mutations are prevalent in the country and potentially lead to new diagnostic methods.
Lynn Fuller has seen industry grow and alumni succeed in global semiconductor companies
A. Sue Weisler Professor Lynn Fuller, founder of RIT’s microelectronic engineering program, is retiring this June after a distinguished career as teacher, mentor, researcher, and entrepreneur.
President Joe Biden recently called for more resources to bolster the computer chip industry to meet consumer and commercial demands. Lynn Fuller has done more than his share to provide assets for this important industry.
Fuller established the first microelectronic engineering program in the country in 1982 at RIT, and today many program graduates lead efforts at the top microchip firms advising the president.
