University of Iowa researchers working on camera that uses AI, physics to detect physical abuse in vulnerable populations.

Karim Abdel-Malek, University of Iowa professor and interim director of the Iowa Technology Institute, and social work Associate Professor Aislinn Conrad are working to develop an artificial intelligence camera system that could eventually track and catch child abuse as it happens.

Fatima Toor, the Lowell G. Battershell Chair in Laser Engineering at the University of Iowa, has been awarded a $999,985 grant aimed at advancing the development of next-generation computing technologies.

Earlier this year, the University of Iowa's National Science Foundation awarded a $6 million grant for a project to help midwestern agricultural communities deal with the changing climate.

Thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation, the University of Iowa will be using tech of its own design to improve climate and weather predictions in rural areas.

The University of Iowa has secured a $6 million, four-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to spearhead a multistate initiative aimed at aiding Midwest agricultural communities facing the increasing challenges of severe weather, including floods, droughts, and heat waves.

Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works advanced projects division has partnered with the University of Iowa’s Operator Performance Laboratory to demonstrate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in air-to-air intercept scenarios.

Cheryl Reuben is an undergraduate research assistant in the Atmospheric and Environmental Research Lab.

Just after midnight on April 7 along the eastern coast of Florida, Jun Wang saw a blinding light burst across a harbor, followed by a mighty roar. It was a SpaceX rocket lifting off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and starting its ascent into space. With his wife and two of his kids by his side, Wang watched the rocket climb higher and higher into the inky sky — carrying years of his research with it.

For 40-plus years, the Army has been waiting for someone like 18-year-old Santos. He runs, he deadlifts, executes push-ups and carries burdens like a pack mule and is fresh as a daisy the next day. He’s also entirely virtual. University of Iowa's Santos (and his female counterpart Sophia), is a biomechanically accurate digital avatar that predicts behavior through
