Artificial intelligence could help counter election misinformation at the same speed that false narratives spread, according to new research from WashU and Caltech.

Brett D. Wick, chair of the Department of Mathematics in Arts & Sciences, has been installed as the inaugural Robert G. and Maxine W. Scheibe Professor of Mathematics.

Under a new grant from the NSF, a WashU team will use AI and statistics to study the impact of aerosols on marine low clouds. That knowledge can help communities protect health and prepare for extreme weather.

WashU McKelvey Engineering’s Lan Yang and her team have developed a new sensing technique to detect nanoparticles.

WashU is conducting a universitywide transportation survey. Data gathered from this survey will provide campus planners with key information about the community’s transportation behaviors.

McKelvey Engineering researchers Sang-Hoon Bae and Lan Yang collaborated to establish a framework for heterogeneous integrated photonic chips, enabling multiple functions on a single chip with greater freedom to combine materials and design devices.

WashU McKelvey Engineering’s Chi Li received a grant from NASA to fine-tune a tool that will be used to understand how weather and atmospheric conditions evolve over time.

Amazon’s introduction of smart glasses for its delivery drivers raises significant questions about privacy, workplace surveillance and the normalization of continuously recording technology, says WashU Law professor Neil Richards.

Philip R. O. Payne, the inaugural chief health AI officer for WashU Medicine and BJC Health, helps explain what artificial intelligence can and can’t do in healthcare and why trust, training and human judgment remain essential.
