Most Recent Episodes

AI and Predicting Discontinuation of Opioid Treatments

University of Florida researchers, led by Md Mahmudul Hasan, Ph.D., have developed an AI-based system to identify patients at high risk of discontinuing buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder. This system aids clinicians in designing targeted interventions to improve treatment adherence and outcomes.

Florida's Digital Twin

The University of Florida is leading a project leveraging digital twin technologies and artificial intelligence to create a 3D Jacksonville to reveal details and insights about buildings, roads, and wastewater infrastructure. Various UF units are involved to study the impacts of flooding, climate and aging infrastructure to help city planners develop more effective and efficient solutions for a sustainable Florida.

AI and Cybersecurity

The University of Florida (UF) has entered into an Education Partnership Agreement with the National Security Agency (NSA) to enhance STEM education through technical exchanges and sharing of educational resources. Led by Dr. Damon Woodard of the Florida Institute for National Security (FINS), this partnership will support initiatives like the Clearable Talent Pipeline, aiming to develop top domestic undergraduate students in AI research. One of FINS' major initiatives is helping to train UF undergraduate students to meet the needs of a national shortage of talent in cybersecurity and other national security challenges.

AI Lasers and Forest Damage

University of Florida researchers, led by Dr. Carolos Silva and his team, are using AI and LIDAR technology to create detailed 3D maps for rapid assessment of hurricane damage in forests, revolutionizing forest management and aiding emergency and environmental decision-making.

AI Pipeline for Identifying Molecular Interactions

UF Assistant Professor Alberto Perez and his team at the University of Florida have developed the AF-CBA Pipeline, an AI-powered algorithm that revolutionizes drug development and disease prevention by identifying molecular interactions with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The pipeline opens avenues for targeted therapies to combat ailments such as inflammation, immune dysregulation, and cancer.
