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.

The High Performance Software Foundation (HPSF), part of the Linux Foundation, has welcomed HPX, a runtime system and software library developed at LSU, as a new established project.

BATON ROUGE – Louisiana’s first Bachelor of Science degree in artificial intelligence will be offered to Louisiana State University students this fall at the Baton Rouge campus. Backed by the Louisiana Board of Regents on March 24, the new undergraduate degree is aimed at preparing the next generation of AI leaders by giving students a broad and deep understanding of how to design, analyze, and deploy modern AI systems. With AI transforming work in every sector, Interim Provost Troy Blanchard said it’s essential that the state’s land grant institution offer a rigorous and comprehensive academic program in these emerging technologies.
