Complex systems, such as a power grid or even the Earth's climate, can appear stable even as they approach a sudden, potentially irreversible tipping point.

In his new book, “Reservoir Computing: Machine Learning Meets Nonlinear Dynamics,” ASU Regents Professor Ying-Cheng Lai explores how historical data can help researchers identify those hidden risks — even when the equations governing a system are unknown.

Reservoir computing combines machine learning with nonlinear dynamics to create adaptable digital twins. These computational models can simulate unseen conditions and help scientists and engineers anticipate changes before an ecosystem collapses or an engineered system fails.

In a Q&A, Lai explains how chaos differs from randomness, how digital twins can make previously invisible threats visible and why limited, incomplete or noisy data remains a challenge. He also discusses his group’s work on ecological forecasting, transformer models and quantum reservoir computing for navigation in GPS-denied environments.

AI detection is getting messy.

As text, images and videos generated by artificial intelligence tools spread online, people are being asked to make fast judgments: Is this real? Was it made by a person? Can I trust it?

Jaron Mink, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering in the ASU School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of , studies how people make those calls in real life. In a recent paper, Mink and collaborators analyzed more than 13,000 Reddit posts and 222,000 comments from communities devoted to spotting AI-generated media.

They found that people are building detection strategies in public, looking at everything from weird visual details and writing style to source credibility, social media trends and motive.

But Mink cautions that instinct is not proof, and neither are many AI-detection tools.
For writers, artists and anyone navigating the internet, the bigger question may not be whether AI was used. It may be whether the work, and its source, can be trusted.

As AI generated content spreads, Jaron Mink studies how people decide what is human and trustworthy.

Michael Goryll, who was an associate professor of electrical engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, has posthumously been named the recipient of the 2026 Joseph C. Palais Distinguished Faculty Scholar Award. Established in 2016 by electrical engineering Emeritus Professor Joseph Palais, the Palais Award recognizes electrical engineering faculty for excellence in the areas of research, teaching and service.

His research focused on semiconductor devices, micro-electromechanical systems, biosensors, nanopore technologies, complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor materials and processing, and photovoltaics.

As a postdoctoral researcher, he made major contributions to a DARPA-funded program and was subsequently hired as a faculty member in 2007. Goryll later used the DARPA project experience to earn a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award, studying the nanoscience of naturally occurring diatoms.

Goryll, who also served as associate dean of undergraduate programs from 2024 to 2026, received the Fulton Schools Teaching Excellence Award in 2011–12 and earned Top 5% teaching recognition nine times between 2012 and 2025.

He is recognized for dedicated service to engineering education through his teaching, curriculum development, and leadership, working on initiatives to strengthen and modernize curricula, expand online programs, establish certificates and enhance student success across the Fulton Schools.

Michael Goryll honored with the 2026 Joseph C. Palais Distinguished Faculty Scholar Award for a career dedicated to research, teaching and service.

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Dorsa Parviz on receiving a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER Award to explore the fundamental processes behind electron transfer.

By uncovering how electrons move across material surfaces at the nanoscale, Parviz and her research team are building knowledge that could shape the future of semiconductors, energy storage, carbon capture, biosensing, catalysis and more.
The project also invests in the next generation of scientists through hands-on educational outreach and a vertically integrated mentoring program connecting graduate students, undergraduates and local high school students.

Preparing the next generation of engineers takes more than a classroom — it takes strong partnerships.

A growing collaboration between the Fulton Schools and Meade is creating new opportunities for students through internships, mentorship and scholarship support, helping prepare future engineers for careers in Arizona's rapidly expanding data center and cloud infrastructure industries.

This summer, the first cohort of Fulton Schools interns gained hands-on experience working alongside industry professionals, tackling real engineering challenges, developing technical expertise and building the professional skills that will shape their careers.

As Arizona continues to lead in semiconductor manufacturing, AI and cloud computing, partnerships like this are helping ensure students are ready to make an impact from day one.

Meade partnered with the Fulton Schools to create new opportunities for engineering students through internships, mentorship and scholarship support.

What happens when a student capstone project is not a mock assignment, but a live app with real users, real payments and real families depending on it?

For students in the ASU School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of , working with Sport Sitters has offered a close look at what software engineering feels like beyond the classroom. The startup connects families with college athletes for childcare, giving athletes flexible work and giving children active role models.

Through the Fulton Schools capstone program, students are helping Sport Sitters improve outreach, strengthen its app and prepare for growth. Along the way, they are learning how technical decisions affect people, trust and a growing business.

Sport Sitters gives ASU computer science students hands-on experience building for a live marketplace.

“Computer science is having a bit of an identity crisis at the moment.”

Professor Emeritus William E. Lewis has seen this before.

Lewis joined Arizona State University in 1965, when computer science was still emerging as an academic discipline. In 1980, he became the founding chair of ASU’s Department of Computer Science, helping build what would eventually become the ASU School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of .

Along the way, he watched punch cards give way to personal computers, the internet, mobile computing and now generative AI. Each transformation brought questions about jobs, technology and what computer science would become next.

After more than four decades at ASU, Lewis learned not to mistake disruption for decline. In computer science, the moments that look like endings often turn out to be beginnings.

How the founding chair of ASU's computer science department sees today's AI upheaval as another beginning.

How do you keep critical systems powered when sunlight, conventional batteries and access to the electrical grid aren’t reliable options?

For defense applications, remote sensors and other electronic systems are often deployed in environments, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, has received a U.S. Army Research Office Early Career Program Award to investigate materials and device designs for longer-lasting radiovoltaic power sources.al systems for extended periods.

Nick Rolston, an assistant professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at ASU, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, has received a U.S. Army Research Office Early Career Program Award to investigate materials and device designs for longer lasting radiovoltaic power sources.

Rather than developing an operational power system, Rolston and his team will study damage effects and the resilience of materials and device designs to establish a scientific foundation for longer-lasting radiovoltaic power sources.

The three-year award will also support undergraduate and graduate student research, providing hands-on experience with semiconductor materials, device fabrication, characterization and energy research.
