Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 🎓

You dared to think boldly, solve creatively, and push the boundaries of what technology can do. As you take your next steps — into industry, research, graduate study, and beyond — we can’t wait to see how you will challenge ideas, build what’s next and shape the future.

Once a Seawolf, always a Seawolf. ❤️

Does coffee really boost productivity? Does a cold winter disprove climate change?

Humans are wired to look for patterns — but sometimes, we connect dots that do not actually belong together. Stony Brook Computer Science Professor Klaus Mueller and PhD student Shahreen Salim Aunti developed Belief Miner, a tool that helps researchers study how large groups form causal beliefs and where those beliefs diverge from expert knowledge.

Their work could have applications in climate communication, healthcare, education, public policy, and misinformation research.

Dare to follow your curiosity.

At Stony Brook, Jachao Lee turned undergraduate research into a path at the intersection of AI and healthcare technology.

Working with Professor Chao Chen, he developed a deep learning pipeline to help analyze brain tissue images for Alzheimer’s disease research — work that was published at the SPIE Medical Imaging conference.

This spring, Lee graduates from the Department of Computer Science’s accelerated BS/MS program and begins his career at Epic Systems.

What happens when you take away the most common letter in the English language?

At Stony Brook University , researchers trained an AI model to rewrite The Great Gatsby without using the letter “e”—a letter that makes up about 12% of typical English text.

The result is more than a literary experiment. It’s a powerful test of how well AI can adapt, restructure language, and preserve meaning—even under strict constraints.

What is a PhD really like?

At a recent panel, Stony Brook computer science PhD students shared their experiences with undergraduate students—offering an honest look at research, graduate school, and the decisions that shape their paths.

For many attendees, it was a chance to ask questions, hear real stories, and better understand what comes next after a bachelor’s degree.

We’re celebrating a major student achievement!

Amy Chen, a junior majoring in Information Systems with a minor in Environmental Studies, earned First Place for Best Student Poster Presentation at the American Meteorological Society’s 106th Annual Meeting.

Amy’s project focuses on developing an AI system to detect ozone injury on plant leaves, combining environmental science with computing in a meaningful way. She has been working on this research since Spring 2025 through hands-on work in an ozone garden.

Her work was supported by the SUNY SOAR program.
Congratulations, Amy—we’re proud of you!

Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to code and data—it’s becoming physical.

At Stony Brook University, researchers gathered for an Embodied AI Workshop to explore how intelligent systems can interact with the real world through movement, sensing, and human collaboration.

From robotics to real-world problem solving, the event highlighted how AI is evolving into something more dynamic, responsive, and human-centered.

What happens when students get 24 hours, a big idea and a room full of collaborators?

At HopperHacks, Stony Brook students designed apps, explored AI tools and built new technology projects during the annual hackathon hosted by the Stony Brook WiCS club.

The event gives students a chance to take their first step into real-world tech—learning by building, experimenting and working together.

A bank collapse. A cloud breach. A platform outage. When trust fails, digital systems still have to hold.

Assistant Professor Mohammad Javad Amiri has published Blockchain-Enabled Large-Scale Transaction Management (Springer, 2025), a book that explores how to manage transactions across networks where parties may distrust each other—while still delivering performance, scalability, confidentiality, and verifiable correctness.
