🍎 Chenglu Li 承潞, one of our inaugural faculty fellows, is speaking at the Data Science & AI Lecture Series at 1:30 pm this Friday, Feb. 21. He's doing some amazing work to help middle schoolers learn math. Head to WEB L112 or watch on Zoom: datascience.utah.edu/seminar

Kudos to SCI affiliate faculty member Dan Reed on co-writing this Science Magazine piece. It's a call to action for the US to match other global players & develop a strategy to advance high-performance computing, which has been facing unprecedented demand since the rise of #GenAI.

The U College of Education will host H. Chad Lane from Education at Illinois on 3/3. By combining established principles with exploration & ongoing research, Lane believes we can chart a course for AI in education that benefits learners & supports educators. 🙌 bit.ly/coe-lane

If you're among the 1,750+ people at SIAM Conference on Computational Science & Engineering next week, panels will feature some familiar faces from the U: SCI Director Manish Parashar, SCI Assoc. Director Orly Alter , & computing adjunct faculty Glenn Ricart. #SIAMCSE25

🌬️ If you care about Wasatch Front air quality and have ideas on how to improve it, sign up for A Breath of Fresh Air AI Hackathon by March 31. No coding experience necessary! rai.utah.edu/hackathon/

Air quality research often requires AI tools to process massive amounts of data. "While bias in AI algorithms is well-known, the study exemplifies another ethical issue for big-data users—the chance that the datasets themselves are inherently biased." bit.ly/uofuairdata

Amidst post-pandemic dips in children’s math and reading scores, One-U Responsible AI Initiative faculty fellow Chenglu Li 承潞 and his collaborators are combating that trend with ALTER-Math—an AI-powered app they hope will double the rate of math learning. attheu.utah.edu/research/ai-pa…

.FOX 13 News Utah interviewed SCI director Manish Parashar yesterday about AI's energy needs—a topic that One-U RAI hopes to address. One solution? Build AI and supporting tech that is more sustainable, from smarter algorithms to more efficient computing centers. fox13now.com/news/local-new…

Join us on Thursday, April 3, for a Distinguished SCI Seminar from Karen Willcox, director of the Oden Institute at UT Austin. sci.utah.edu/the-institute/…

SCI's Orly Alter has been a SIAM member for 22 years—check out their spotlight on her! 🌟

📣 Announcing the cash prizes for A Breath of Fresh Air AI Hackathon: 🥇 $1,500 🥈 $1,000 🥉 $500 Sign up by April 15 to help improve air quality and public health—no coding experience needed. All are welcome, especially Utah college students! rai.utah.edu/hackathon/

In 2024, SCI's Akil Narayan accepted a College of Science fellowship to learn about college administration. Read a Q&A on what it's meant & how he sees administration as a way to "promote institutional growth that supports & uplifts students, staff, & faculty." sci.utah.edu/the-institute/…

Penny Atkins keeps this initiative moving forward through her laser-focused work with people across campus, industry, & gov't. Hear her discuss what's next for RAI cyberinfrastructure & beyond at this Academic Data Science Alliance "listen & lunch" virtual event Thurs. zoom.us/meeting/regist…

SCI has a growing presence at ACM CHI Conference, the top conference on human-computer interaction. SCI contributions to #CHI2025 include 4 papers, 1 of which won an honorable mention, along with a software course and a paper in the boundary-pushing alt.chi forum. sci.utah.edu/the-institute/…

📈 The University of Utah Center for High Performance Computing installed its single-biggest upgrade to AI cyberinfrastructure: a fleet of 10 powerful computer servers with 80 high-end NVIDIA GPUs, hardware critical for AI-driven research. rai.utah.edu/chpc-new-gpus/

📣 SCI researchers built a new, more efficient tool for big-data analysis, and their work is featured on the May 2025 cover of "Algorithms," a peer-reviewed, open access journal. Read more: sci.utah.edu/the-institute/…

👏 Congrats to SCI Director Manish Parashar for receiving ACM's Distinguished Service Award! Read more on SCI's site: bit.ly/sci-acm-parash…

🙌 Kudos to Bidone Lab, who is part of an international team of researchers awarded $8.5M by the Leducq Foundation to develop treatments for peripheral artery disease—a common and potentially fatal condition where not enough blood flows to the limbs. sci.utah.edu/the-institute/…

🧑‍💻 During our first hackathon June 4–5, our conference rooms buzzed with discussions of data, algorithms, AI, atmospheric sciences, & more as students built tools to address air quality. Kudos to our winners & thanks to all participants, vols, & sponsors! rai.utah.edu/air-quality-ha…
