The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $461,597 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to establish an Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on applied artificial intelligence (AI) research. The project, running from April 2024 to March 2027, provides undergraduate students, particularly those underrepresented in STEM, the opportunity to participate in AI research addressing critical societal challenges such as bias and information integrity, personalized digital health, and modeling of renewable energy and human mobility. Students will work closely with WPI faculty and graduate students, gaining hands-on experience with the AI modeling pipeline from data preparation to model deployment. The project also includes a professional development seminar series and industry networking events to further prepare students for AI-related careers, contributing to the STEM workforce and US economic prosperity.
