This technology is especially beneficial for both patients at high risk for heart disease, such as those with hypertension, diabetes or family history of heart attacks, as well as those who have had prior heart testing, such as stress tests with inconclusive results or chest pain but no answers as it provides clearer insights and aids in more accurate decision making. FOX 5 NY's Richard Giacovis has the story.
As higher ed institutions embrace generative artificial intelligence tools, Stony Brook University’s library is spearheading efforts to help students and faculty learn how to use them in an ethical, responsible way.
The inaugural director of the Artificial Intelligence Innovation Institute, or AI3, Varshney will arrive at Stony Brook University in August from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he has been a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Varshney believes Stony Brook’s growth and commitment to AI are on an upward trajectory. “There are a lot of interesting initiatives," he said, "and the new institute will hopefully bring them together." He hopes to collaborate with members of the campus from medicine, the arts and sciences, engineering, business, and atmospheric sciences to develop AI-driven solutions that have a positive impact on society.
Lav Varshney appointed inaugural director of Stony Brook's AI Innovation Institute, effective August 1. Varshney most recently served on the faculty of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His background blends work in industry, academia, government, think tanks, and national laboratories. Varshney’s leadership is aimed at building on the university’s role as a core partner in Empire AI, New York State’s $250 million investment in AI and computing. He will also support further collaborations with industry and work to identify unexplored research areas.
Stony Brook University has introduced NVwulf, a cutting-edge high-performance computing (HPC) GPU cluster designed to boost advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and data-intensive scientific research. The system became available to researchers who helped fund its purchase and their students for advanced testing on July 7, marking a significant upgrade in campus-wide computational capabilities.
