AI and machine learning technologies are poised to make as large an impact on human life as the Industrial Revolution did, if not a larger one In this Q&A, we ask James Ghawaly Jr., an assistant professor in the LSU College of Engineering with a joint appointment in the LSU Center for Computation & Technology (CCT), about his views on the future of AI research.

Through an inaugural round of funding in 2024-2025, seven collaborative research teams received $1.6 million in support and sprang into action in January. This is where they are now.

Five LSU researchers are included in Clarivate’s list of Highly Cited Researchers of 2025. Clarivate is a trusted provider of academic impact insights, leveraged by various institutions, including the Association of American Universities (AAU), to collect citation metrics.
