NASA’s Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) has arrived at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, where the Johns Hopkins APL-built and -operated spacecraft will undergo final preparations before launch.

Researchers at APL and the Johns Hopkins Medicine Wilmer Eye Institute in Baltimore are designing a retinal imaging platform in the form of wearable eyeglasses that has the potential to train machine learning models for accelerated research and diagnostics.

Take a behind-the-scenes look into the meticulous integration and testing campaign it takes to get a spacecraft like the APL-built IMAP ready for the launchpad.

As head of the Research and Exploratory Development Department, Merkle will accelerate innovation and collaborate with the Lab’s sectors and mission areas to tackle mission-critical challenges.

For the fourth consecutive year, APL was honored with a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award as one of the top 100 Best Places to Work among large U.S. companies.

The Cyberbiosecurity Summit is a two-day conference dedicated to exploring the intersection of cybersecurity and biotechnology, the frontier addressing vulnerabilities and threats facing our biological data, intellectual property, instruments and machinery, and the connected economic factors. Hosted by the Bioeconomy Information Sharing and Analysis Center and APL, this event brings together thought leaders, innovators and decision-makers to tackle the complex challenges posed by the convergence of cyber threats and the bioeconomy.

Ashutosh Dutta, the Lab’s chief 5G strategist and an IEEE Fellow, has been inducted into the New Internet Protocol version 6 Hall of Fame. He was recognized for his leadership in the worldwide deployment of the next-generation protocol needed to support the global growth of the internet and improve its operation and security.

Air and Missile Defense Sector Head Dave Van Wie was recognized at two events by his alma mater, the University of Maryland A. James Clark School of Engineering, for his long record of technical achievement, national service, and leadership.

The Association of Old Crows has honored APL’s Paul Kennedy for his contributions to electronic warfare research.
