Sanghani Center and CAIA cultivate transdisciplinary research in agriculture, AI, and data analytics
A new initiative between the Center for Advanced Innovation in Agriculture (CAIA) and the Sanghani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics has launched a Graduate Research Assistantship Program that provides scholarships for exceptional Ph.D. students conducting research that generates agricultural solutions enabled by artificial intelligence and data analytics.
The initiative builds upon a consistent collaboration between the two centers that began with the inauguration of CAIA in 2021. Faculty from the two centers have been working on joint research projects that includes a National Science Foundation-sponsored Convergence Accelerator project and some faculty are members of both centers.
Sangwoo Kim in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering and Runing Yang in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are the first Ph.D. students to receive the Joint Graduate Scholarship.
