Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping teaching, learning, research, institutional operations, and the future of academic work. Colleges and universities must move quickly from experimentation to coordinated, institution-wide strategies that align AI innovation w…[Read more]

Hello colleagues in Artificial Intelligence in Education,
I’m reaching out to invite collaboration with instructors and programs that want to bring AI-enabled scientific computing workflows into the classroom—through assignments, demos, student mini-projects, and small-scale research experiences.
I’m the PI of the NAIRR Classroom Pilot proje…[Read more]

1. A catheter has radius r. If radius is decreased by 20% (same ΔP, η, L), by what factor does volumetric flow rate change? (Poiseuille flow)
2. A 5.0 µF capacitor is charged to 10 V. It is then disconnected and connected to an uncharged 5.0 µF capacitor (in parallel). What is the final voltage across each?
3. A spherical air bubble rises in wat…

My NAIRR pilot project to train students and faculty to use NAIRR resources for science and education has been approved by the NAIRR. I now have allocations on NAIRR resources and can give access to NAIR resources to interested students and faculty. Now I’m forming an informal group to explore AI for science and education by using NAIRR r…[Read more]
