Mohammad Asadi, assistant professor of chemical engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology, who spearheaded the research, said: “Making renewable chemical manufacturing is really important. It’s the best way to close the carbon cycle without losing chemicals we currently use daily.”
“We are incredibly pleased with the sustained growth we’re seeing,” said Stuart School of Business Dean Liad Wagman. “Our focus on blending business education with technological expertise has struck a chord with prospective students who see the tremendous value in what Stuart offers. We are committed to continuing this momentum by further enhancing our innovative academic programs.”
Play can help cultivate strategic thinking (there’s a reason chess is the top-selling game of all time), provide additional structure for social interactions or an outlet for creativity and self-expression. Playing games does more than fill time: In the relatively safe constraints of a game, we can access bigger worlds, other times and even other versions of ourselves. That kind of freedom — to explore, to grow, to experiment — is a profound experience to find in a cardboard box.
“If we think about the whole supply chain, right, and where food gets wasted, it starts at the farm, happens during distribution, at retail, in the stores, in the food service, and also in households,” said Weslynne Ashton, professor of environmental management and sustainability at the Illinois Institute of Technology. “So, if we think about that entire supply chain, we can think about the new technologies that are available now around predictive analytics that can help with inventory management for ordering food. Companies can have a better handle on how much they need to order, the time frame, and what customers are most likely to purchase, using that data to better manage their inventory.”
“I think (the ruling) creates not only precedent for the future, but also space for more breathing room and other aggressive and innovative state regulators to follow along a similar sort of path,” said James Tierney, a professor at the Chicago-Kent College of Law.
“Decertification has to be easier if it’s to work as an independent way to get police reform,” said Raff Donelson, an associate professor at the Chicago-Kent College of Law, drawing a contrast to criminal prosecutions as an accountability mechanism. We have one set of rules for figuring out whether to take away your freedom,” he said, and “a different set of rules about whether you should do a job.”
The challenge with something like Listeria is that it’s “always in the environment — it might be in very small quantities in food products that we eat every day,” said Alvin Lee, associated professor of food science at Illinois Institute of Technology. Though inspectors could and perhaps should verify cleaning protocols, “You can only clean in places where you can reach. The problem with this equipment is the tubing.”
“I think AI in the broadest terms is just trying to see the kinds of problems that humans are able to solve,” says Lance Fortnow, dean of the College of Computing. Conversations about AI date back to the 1940s, but the launch of ChatGPT last year began a new era. “You can really do lots of different things with this AI,” Fortnow says.
“It can improve energy density really significantly,” said Mohammad Asadi, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology, who’s partnered with researchers at Argonne National Laboratory to look into advanced battery technology.
When market pioneer ChatGPT first became available, many prospective users of legal generative AI tech — law firms and in-house legal departments — suffered from “Fomo”, or fear of missing out, according to Dan Katz, a professor at Chicago Kent College of Law, who leads the school’s legal tech centre. But that early enthusiasm has given way to “Fud” — fear, uncertainty and doubt — he says.
