Undergraduate students will soon be conducting summer research in Artificial Intelligence-Driven Resilient Health and Biological Systems, thanks to a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant awarded to Prof. Ashiq Rahman.
The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program will provide a 10-week research experience for eight students per year over the next three years. Students will experience research with a focus on “integrating core artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into the research on sensing systems for resilient health and biological systems and providing students with unique and interdisciplinary research experiences.” The REU summer program helps “build the workforce needed for the urgent adoption of innovative biomonitoring systems built on recent technological advancements, including smart and miniaturized sensors, communications technologies, and AI.”
KFSCIS Associate Professor Ashiqur Rahman is the principal investigator (PI) for the project along with Vladimir Pozdin, Co-Principal Investigator (CP), who is an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at FIU.
The NSF award provides FIU $372,000 over the next three years to fund the program.
