The Robot that Learns
“We used Titan to run different scenarios through the brain, keeping the ones that worked and ‘killing off’ the ones that didn’t,” said Mitchell. “It’s the neuromorphic equivalent of survival of the fittest.”

Rebel with a Cause
“At Notre Dame, my colleagues joked that I worked with every biologist on campus,” shared Emrich. “But what I see as unique about bioinformatics is that we are able to help solve many problems and have the ability to train students with diverse talents through many cool projects.”

Going Places
“We need to be thinking towards the future,” she said. “As we become increasingly more reliant on our devices as we travel, we need to understand the implications for this on infrastructure.”
