Research @ WashU with Randall Martin
Background: Characterizing air quality from global to local scales by gathering satellite remote sensing or other observational data and applying the GEOS-Chem model to simulate the atmosphere, interpret those observations, and understand processes that enable prediction. Relevance: Driven strongly by the effects of air quality on human health. Objective: To understand the traditional sources and processes that […]
RIS & DI2 Partner for Digital Transformation Summer Corps
Digital Intelligence and Innovation (DI2) held its inaugural Digital Transformation Summer Corps this year. This program invited students with software development and digital science skills to work alongside faculty like RIS to accelerate digitally enabled research projects at WashU. Our partnership provided student teams with high-performance GPUs to develop AI algorithms throughout their projects. One student team, in particular, […]
