As AI continues to evolve and shape industries across the globe, RENCI (Renaissance Computing Institute) is leading the charge in deploying scalable, real-world AI solutions to drive innovation in biomedical research, infrastructure safety, and workflow management. Our researchers implement AI that makes a difference, ensuring our partners can harness the full power of intelligent systems for discovery and decision-making.
RENCI experts will share insights into the organization’s AI-driven initiatives through short presentations, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A.
The agenda for the event is as follows:
– Deputy Director Becky Boyles will kick off with an overview of RENCI.
– David Borland, Assistant Director of Analytics and Data Science, will discuss the development of an AI tool to extract roadside safety-related features from NCDOT’s previously collected rural video log data, including design and implementation of the road hazard annotation tool, data management, and AI algorithms.
– Kathleen Carter, Biomedical Data Scientist, will introduce MATRIX, a project that aims to revolutionize drug repurposing using AI to identify new therapeutic uses for FDA-approved drugs.
– Anirban Mandal, Director of the Network Research and Infrastructure Group, will delve into PegasusAI, a next-generation AI-driven scientific workflow management system that introduces artificial intelligence to improve automation, fault detection, performance prediction, and user guidance across the computing continuum—from edge devices to exascale high-performance computing systems.
