Computational Framework and Data Science for Identification
This three-year collaborative research grant aims to integrate research with educational activities for students at undergraduate and graduate levels. The grant will support the introduction of a new course, Data Science and Machine Learning, and the enhancement of an existing course with data analytics and AI concepts.
Project Information
The proposed project activities provide an advanced level of research training and education opportunities in the fields of data science and analytics, artificial intelligence, and cyber security for primarily minority students from underrepresented groups to better prepare them for advanced degree programs and successful careers in technology and science. Winston-Salem State University will collaborate with faculty members in the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina A&T State University on the grant. The combined grants are for $1 million.
