Some of the bacteria present in healthy lungs protect the lung against harmful germs. Studies have shown that people with lung diseases often lack these “good” bacteria in their lungs. Our team has been demonstrated that breathing polluted air causes lung inflammation, which can make it hard to breathe, especially for people who have lung […]

This research project will aid in the creation of safe networks of wireless devices, such as security cameras. Computer software using artificial intelligence will watch the networks for problems with the devices or misuses of the networks. In particular, this project will discover ways to ensure that the networks are compatible with the right kind […]

This project is about using artificial intelligence to interpret agricultural remote sensing data. We will develop new means to integrate repeated imagery data of targeted agricultural fields to pinpoint agronomically significant anomalies (e.g., water or nutrient stress, crop pathology, weeds, etc.) and provide field managers easy to follow recommendations guiding development of the most cost […]
