This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will fund research to investigate how artificial intelligence (AI) can accelerate the design of biosensors based on two-dimensional materials, moving beyond laborious trial-and-error methods. The $479,982 award to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2028, will develop a "white-box" data-driven design framework to address key challenges in biosensor design, including insufficient data, complex biochemical interactions, and the need for transparent, interpretable approaches in high-stakes biomedical applications. The project aims to integrate machine learning, data fusion, and statistical inference to enable a "design-by-learning" paradigm that can both accelerate biosensor development and enhance expert capabilities by providing interpretable insights from the design process ("learning-from-design"). The research is expected to generalize beyond biosensors to broader areas such as advanced materials design, while also promoting national healthcare readiness and supporting STEM education.
