Dr. Rahman's Impact
Innovative UA Research Recognized with NSF CAREER Awards
Four professors at The University of Alabama received one of the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious honors for early-career faculty.
UA to Bolster Nation’s Workforce in Precision Timing
A one-of-a-kind graduate program at The University of Alabama will pave the way for highly skilled professionals to enter the ranks of the critical field of precision timing. With nearly $3 million in support from the National Science Foundation, UA is offering 24 graduate school fellowships. The fellowships pay tuition and a stipend for students to concentrate in precision timing, the field of hyper-hyper accurate timekeeping traditionally based on atomic clocks.
Low-cost Solution Viable for Self-Driving Cars to Spot Hacked GPS
Transportation researchers at The University of Alabama developed a promising, inexpensive system to overcome one challenge of self-driving vehicle technology: GPS hacking that can send a self-driving vehicle to the...
