Autonomous drones could deliver packages, inspect bridges and skyscrapers, monitor emergencies like wildfires and, eventually, ferry people. But the airspace still lacks the testing and coordination infrastructure needed to prove drones can operate safely. Mehrnaz Sabet, a doctoral student in the field of information science, is working to create that infrastructure.
Digital research repository arXiv to start new chapter as nonprofit
arXiv was born in northern New Mexico, the brainchild of then-Los Alamos National Laboratory physicist Paul Ginsparg, Ph.D. ’81, as a simple way for researchers to share their work with colleagues before it appeared in peer-reviewed journals. On July 1, the digital research repository arXiv, housed at Cornell Tech, will transition to an independent nonprofit.
