“There are pockets of research, pockets of growing, but to holistically create this in a city center has never been done,” said Brian Schaneberg, executive director of the Institute for Food Safety and Health.

The idea of using drones as mobile cell towers isn’t new. But a fundamental problem has persisted: how do you figure out exactly how many drones to deploy, and where to put them, without wasting energy or leaving users without coverage? A team at Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) now has an answer, and it involves training a machine learning algorithm to make those deployment decisions in near-real-time.

“Illinois Tech has been connected with India through learning initiatives since 1996,” said Illinois Tech President Raj Echambadi. “Mumbai was chosen because it is the commercial capital of India and offers strong opportunities for industry collaboration. Major Indian companies are based in Mumbai, which makes industry alignment easier for students.”

As a constitutional law professor, I am frequently asked versions of the following questions: “Is that really legal/constitutional?” “How can they get away with that?” and “Why don’t the courts stop them?” When the answer to the first question is no — as it often is or strongly appears to be — the other questions become even more urgent to ordinary people. And when we look at those questions, a big part of the answer is that the Supreme Court has, over decades, made it increasingly difficult — sometimes impossible — to enforce or vindicate constitutional rights and to redress, much less stop, widespread and systemic governmental lawlessness of the sort we are now seeing.

“When you see that mix, that is what I would call a combustible combination, which is almost going to guarantee success with your product launch. I see Bravo Network is very attractively positioned for launching these niche products where the fit is high,” says Siva Balasubramanian, professor of marketing and the Harold L. Stuart Endowed Chair in Business.

“It’s an enormous problem that federal officials are in some ways the hardest people to hold accountable for violating people’s constitutional rights, even harder than state and local officials,” said Carolyn Shapiro, a professor at �鶹APP-Kent College of Law and a former solicitor general of Illinois.

“Alexa, will you marry me?” When Amazon founder Jeff Bezos reported in 2016 that over 250,000 people had proposed to their Alexa devices, commentators laughed it off. But by 2026, people have said, “I do,” to avatars, chatbots and robots in ceremonies around the world.

“It's especially useful for anyone serious about peak performance and endurance sports,” says Tyler McQuality, associate director of the Center for Sports Innovation at Illinois Tech. “There are certain intervals you can run based on VO2 max pacing and effort.”

“Quantum bits can be coupled to each other, just like atoms can form molecules. You can make 100 of these quantum bits work cooperatively as one giant type of computing element, and that gives you an axis to solving problems that you cannot do with conventional processors,” says John F. Zasadzinski, professor of physics at Illinois Institute of Technology. “It can’t solve every problem, but there are certain types of problems that it is really good at solving in an amount of time that’s reasonable.”

Extreme heat in Japan and Australia. Flash floods in Texas and across Europe. Billion-dollar-damaging storms in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. These are no longer rare events but signs of mounting ecological stress that threaten long-term business continuity. The way companies manage natural resources—how they produce, sell, and dispose of products—is not sustainable. Yet within this challenge lies a strategic opportunity: the circular economy.
