“A Slam Dunk”: LSU Emerges as National Leader in Cyber for Critical Infrastructure
LSU is the first university in the nation to partner with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T), and Idaho National Laboratory (INL) on a unique model for cybersecurity for critical infrastructure.
LSU and Southern University Team Up to Train 150 Louisianans to Lead in Energy-Efficient Computing
Last year, LSU and Southern University teamed up to increase worldwide access to high-performance computing and won a $1.5 million award from the National Science Foundation. The team’s goal is to build a bigger user community around HPX, a software library developers can use to create faster, more powerful, and energy-efficient applications.
Newlab New Orleans Proves LSU’s Economic Development Power
Newlab’s move to Louisiana demonstrates the research and economic development power of LSU, said Josh Fleig, chief innovation officer at Louisiana Economic Development.
LSU-led Team Turns Agricultural Waste into Liquid Fuels for Transportation
Researchers at LSU are developing new electrochemical technology that could provide new revenue streams for Louisiana’s farmers and petrochemical industry.
Transforming “Made in America” Using CO2
Highly efficient electrolyzers developed at LSU can transform CO2 into the basic building blocks we need to make carbon-based products such as sunglasses, detergents, clothing, medicines, and food. Even a grapefruit hard seltzer is planned for Tin Roof Brewing in Baton Rouge, which is set to reopen soon as a brewpub.
LSU Research Enables Better Flood Protection for Homes
For decades, Louisiana has been building homes to an elevation standard where 4 out of 10 are expected to flood at least once in 50 years. Shocked? Then you’re not alone, says LSU Professor Carol Friedland. She leads a team that just helped set a new, national elevation standard for construction.
