Using AI to Generate Holograms in Everyday Settings

Visualization of the optimized phase delays, the output of the model and the ideal output of holograms. Imagine being able to see a hologram of the person you’re talking to on your cell phone. Sound futuristic? Mizzou Engineers are finding ways to someday make that a reality. A research team is studying how artificial intelligence (AI) can help generate holograms in everyday settings. Marshall Lindsay, a PhD student in computer science, presented the work at an international conference hosted by SPIE, the Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers. Unlike traditional holograms, which are made by using laser beams to illuminate an object…

Mizzou Cyber Range to Focus on Cyber Pretense Strategies

Hackers are getting smarter about ways to steal sensitive information from the cloud. Now, a new “Mizzou Cyber Range” will train the next generation of cybersecurity professionals to fight back using cyber pretense strategies. Armed with new grant funding from the National Security Agency, Prasad Calyam and his team are building the Mizzou Cyber Range through the MU Center for Cyber Education, Research and Infrastructure.
