A new theory based on the physics of cloud formation and neutron scattering could help animators create more lifelike movies, according to a Dartmouth-led study. Software developed using the technique focuses on how light interacts with microscopic particles to develop computer-generated images.
The work was conduced by Dartmouth's Visual Computing Laboratory in collaboration with researchers from Pixar, Disney Research, ETH Zurich and...
[more]Andrew Campbell and his PhD students received the prestigious ACM SenSys 2018 Test-of-Time Award (10 year award) for their paper: “Sensing meets mobile social networks: the design, implementation and evaluation of the cenceme application”.
In 2008, when the App Store first opened Professor Campbell and his team released the CenceMe app, which implemented a machine learning algorithm directly on the iPhone for the first time to automatically detected the user’s behavior (e.g., sitting...
[more]Dartmouth computer science graduate students are applying their research techniques to fundamental security flaws recently found in nearly every computer chip manufactured in the last 20 years—flaws that they say could prove catastrophic if exploited by malicious hackers.
The researchers are coming to grips with a design flaw that ultimately falls into the province of the chip manufacturers—such industry giants as Intel and AMD. Until new designs are implemented, an interim solution...
[more]Predictive algorithms may help us shop, discover new music or literature, but do they belong in the courthouse? Dartmouth professor Hany Farid reverse engineers the inherent dangers and potential biases of recommendations engines built to mete out justice in today's criminal justice system.
Check out the TEDx video on Youtube:
Prof. Farid recently talked with NPR's All Things Considered about deep-fake videos.
From the article:
[more]In all Tech Considered, we continue our look this month at the many ways tech can be used to influence or undermine democracy. Today - deep fake videos. The Defense Department considers them enough of a concern that it's working with outside experts on ways to detect them and prevent them from being made. Hany Farid is a computer science professor at Dartmouth...

Please see the full position announcement for a list of requirements and instructions on how to apply. Application deadline is November 15, 2018.
Dartmouth College seeks applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the area of Theoretical and Computational Molecular Science. The ideal candidate will use theoretical chemistry and computational modeling approaches to address foundational and practical questions about molecular structure, function, energetics, spectroscopy, reaction kinetics, and their impact in systems of biological interest. Preference will be given to candidates with applications geared towards biochemistry...
[more]The Dartmouth College Department of Computer Science invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the level of assistant professor (exceptional candidates at other ranks will be considered). We seek candidates who will be excellent researchers and teachers in the broad area of cybersecurity. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science or related field by the date of the start of their appointment. We particularly seek candidates who will help lead,...
[more]Dartmouth News is running a profile of CS Assistant Professor Wojciech Jarosz.
From the story:
[more]Wojciech Jarosz is fascinated by the behavior of light and the interplay with its environment, an interest that led to his involvement in the movies Tangled, Frozen, and Big Hero 6...
