emergency medical center How and When Could AI Be Used in Emergency Medicine?
While artificial intelligence technology is increasingly being used — formally and informally — to support medical diagnoses, its utility in emergency medical settings remains an open question. Can AI support doctors in situations where split-second decision making can mean the difference between life and death? Researchers at Drexel University broached the question with clinicians at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., to better understand how and when the technology could help them save lives.
calculator on math book Multiplier Effect: Drexel Joins Initiative to Develop AI Tools for Math Teachers
Researchers from Drexel University’s School of Education will join peers from Ursinus College and the 21st Century Partnership for STEM Education in an effort to strengthen artificial intelligence tools that will enhance math teaching and learning. This work is part of a Gates Foundation initiative to improve math education by better supporting students. Drawing on mentoring data and insight from math educators, the team aims to improve how AI tools respond to student work. The project will also explore how AI can assist teachers in providing focused feedback that equips students to build their conceptual understanding of math over time.
MXene nanomaterial flake Understanding Orderly and Disorderly Behavior in 2D Nanomaterials Could Enable Bespoke Design, Tailored by AI
Since their discovery at Drexel University in 2011, MXenes — a family of nanomaterials with unique properties of durability, conductivity and filtration, among many others — has become the largest known and fastest growing family of two-dimensional nanomaterials, with more than 50 unique MXene materials discovered to date. Experimentally synthesizing them and testing the physical properties of each material has been the labor of tens of thousands of scientists from more than 100 countries. But a recent discovery by a multi-university collaboration of researchers, led by Drexel University researcher Yury Gogotsi, PhD, and Drexel alumnus Babak Anasori, PhD, who is now an associate professor at Purdue University, that sheds light on the thermodynamics undergirding the materials’ unique structure and behavior, could be the key to supercharging this endeavor with artificial intelligence technology. The discovery was recently reported in the journal Science.
