John Biddle (Ph.D. ’13, physics) is developing smart sensing systems to ‘see’ inside packages, boxes and bags—and detect potential threats.

Cole Miller’s (B.S. ’24, mathematics) lifelong passion for mathematics and sports helped him score an ‘awesome’ job as a scouting assistant in the NFL.

Mathematics Professor Yanir Rubinstein's MATH 440: “Geometry and Data Science of Sports Analytics” course trains students for real-world careers in professional sports.

Richard Isaacson (Ph.D. ’67, physics) makes a generous gift to support graduate students studying gravitational physics and honor the memory of his UMD mentor, Charles Misner.

Once on the brink of extinction, the scimitar-horned oryx is making a comeback in the savannahs of Africa—and UMD scientists are waiting to see if this new generation of animals still remembers its wild instincts.

UMD researchers reconstructed the first-ever timeline of a rare form of methane, exploring whether it could be used to assess future climate progress.
