AI2EAR Bridge Program

The mission of AI2EAR is to enable long-term global food security and safety by accelerating collaboration between all the necessary disciplinary thought leaders and provide a framework for the sharing of critical resources and information needed to drive innovation.

Discover the AI2EAR Bridge Program! The International Collaboration to Accelerate Integration of Engineering, Plant Sciences, & Agricultural Research using Artificial Intelligence, AI2EAR, thrilled to share this exciting opportunity for students who have been accepted to graduate school at North Carolina State University in the upcoming fall semester of 2024. Our program offers awardees a unique chance to immerse themselves in the NC State community during July 2024, allowing them to bond with a mentor, explore the campus, build valuable research skills, and participate in professional development workshops. Plus, we'll provide financial support to make this experience possible for our selected awardees.

AI2EAR Research Objectives

• Sensor Science, Engineering, and Integration- (use plant-microbiome data to profile crop, soil, and environmental properties across scale. 

• Data Mining, Machine Learning, Multi-scale Modeling, AI models (use novel analytical paradigms for processing heterogeneous and unstructured crop, soil, and environmental datasets to provide stakeholders with an agro-ecosystem decision support framework that captures complex interrelationships between crops and the evolving agricultural environment.)

• Open-source Data and Network Cyberinfrastructures (use data and network cyberinfrastructure that support innovations in sensor science and intelligent data mining analytics and will form the foundation of an open-source information sharing platform for real-time querying, systematic organization, and dynamic abstraction of heterogeneous agro-ecological datasets.)
