MTSU students are heading to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California for a prestigious learning opportunity!

Selected for a four-day program, the students will explore how artificial intelligence is being used to advance scientific research across multiple disciplines.

“AI is no longer just a computer science or programming tool, but it’s a foundational driver of discovery in fields like material science, chemical synthesis, physics, climate modeling, those types of things,” said Dr. Hardik Gohel, professor in MTSU’s Department of Computer Science.

Gohel and Dr. Xin Yang, associate professor of computer science, will accompany the students Nov. 4–7 as they learn from leading scientists and explore research opportunities at the national laboratory.
