LSU Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Ope Owoyele has received a Young Investigator Program award from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). The Young Investigator Program supports early-career scientists and engineers who show exceptional ability and promise for conducting basic research. Owoyele's award will provide $450,000 over three years to support research at the intersection of combustion science, physics-informed machine learning, and computational modeling.

It’s become impossible not to associate the future with artificial intelligence. AI and machine learning technologies are poised to make as large an impact on human life as the Industrial Revolution did, if not a larger one In this Q&A, we ask James Ghawaly Jr., an assistant professor in the LSU College of Engineering with a joint appointment in the LSU Center for Computation & Technology (CCT), about his views on the future of AI research.

Through an inaugural round of funding in 2024-2025, seven collaborative research teams received $1.6 million in support and sprang into action in January. This is where they are now.
