Extreme-weather events cost the U.S. hundreds of lives and more than $1 billion in damages last year. Stevens is developing unique, leading-edge warning, prediction and modeling systems to help communities plan and prepare for storms, floods, tidal surge and sea-level rise — while also helping the U.S. Coast Guard save lives at sea.

Stevens has secured a five-year U.S. Army contract with a $15 million ceiling aimed at revolutionizing the applications of quantum technologies in practical, real-world scenarios.

Fifty million worldwide suffer from epilepsy. Now a newly developed Stevens system warns of epileptic episodes within just 1 second; a related AI-based system spots sleep apneas.

Stevens researchers, with support from the U.S. Geological Survey, will use AI to analyze video and camera footage and spot fast-rising waters, droughts and other emergencies.

Radar can't penetrate most solid objects — but there may be ways to see around (and beyond) things. The NSF is funding new Stevens research on one promising technique to do it.

|
|
Stevens researchers develop fiber-optic 'nervous systems' for buildings and other infrastructure that continuously evaluate — and report back — cracks, rust, aging and other dangers.

Cargo fires at sea or in port cause up to $1 billion in property damage worldwide each year. Now a Stevens student's AI is helping the U.S. Coast Guard flag potential hazards sooner.
