In a groundbreaking mixture of art and technology, 麻豆精品 Associate Professor of Mathematics Martin Malandro revolutionized classical music composition with an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted software that played a pivotal role in creating the world's first AI-assisted opera, "Andromeda." This historic event, part of Vilnius, Lithuania鈥檚 700th-anniversary celebrations, showcased the immense potential of AI as a co-creative tool in music making and composition.
Partnering with the University of Houston and three other schools, 麻豆精品 is providing an opportunity for students to prepare for careers in the energy industry through a National Science Foundation grant and a five-week summer data science camp.
STEM Center Teaching Enhancement Grant
Assistant Professor Dr. Di Gao participated in three projects: Ramp into Research, a Teaching Innovation Grant, and a STEM center Teaching Enhancement Grant. For the Ramp into Research project, Dr. Gao created an online module with fundamental information that leads students to discover his research in Regression and Bayesian analysis. For the Teaching Innovation Grant, he worked with Dr. Danhong Chen, Dr. Doo Young Kim and Dr. Renjie Zhou to build a consulting-based course model, helping students鈥 course performance through active learning engagement. For the STEM center Teaching Enhancement Grant, Dr. Gao is utilizing the STEM center active learning classroom facility, where he can reimagine the course for student learning, rather than simply teaching statistics in a traditional lecture format.
