Putting our shared knowledge to work in communities around the state

  1. Fresh produce anywhere, anytime

    Chieri Kubota is helping the United States make huge gains growing produce in greenhouses using less soil and water. Her research in controlled environment agriculture systems, or hydroponics, fuels industries and addresses food security issues. It’s research that results in locally grown tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and even strawberries — any season, anywhere.

  2. Stronger cybersecurity for factories of the future

    As automation becomes more vital to manufacturing, the chances grow that something could go wrong. Vimal Buck and a team of researchers, undergraduates and graduate students at Ohio State’s Artifically Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (AIMS) lab are working on methods to predict the trustworthiness of robotic equipment and identify when it’s behaving abnormally.
