Artificial intelligence (AI) enables machines to perform difficult tasks, interface and collaborate with humans and augment human capabilities. AI impacts almost every area of our lives, from finance to medicine to consumer electronics, and the associated innovations are expected to transform how the world does business, translating into a global market that exceeds $700 billion by 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNC Charlotte faculty expertise touches on a range of emerging AI-focus areas, including machine learning and data mining methods; robotics and autonomous systems; human-assistive AI; high-performance AI; and ethical, explainable and trustworthy AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

University researchers develop foundational techniques and apply them to address problems across a broad range of interests, including computing infrastructure and cybersecurity, energy, climate change, health care, scientific discovery, smart cities, personalized education and defense. The work is advanced through a network of collaborative national partnerships with private industry and government agencies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Science and engineering conducted at the nanoscale \u2014 a scale that is 100,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair \u2014 is driving a revolution in the creation of new solutions to worldwide problems, particularly in energy, health and medicine and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNC Charlotte nanoscale researchers work toward the development of novel materials, devices and structures to address these problems and challenges. University researchers are developing RNA nanoparticles for immunotherapies and vaccines that target antibiotic-resistant pathogens and cancers, and developing nanosensors for the clinical diagnosis of COVID-19. They investigate novel organic molecular dyes and polymers for use in solar energy conversion, generate inorganic nanomaterials to build efficient energy storage devices and develop sustainable methods to decontaminate water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others on campus are applying a wide variety of interdisciplinary experimental approaches to gain molecular-level insights into biological systems, with significance for cancer research, immune responses, neurodegenerative diseases and other important areas of research.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Assumption of Risk (AOR)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Assumption of Risks are used to inform the potential risks associated with the potential project and allow the College\/department to choose if they want to incur the risk(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Researchers can complete the AOR form through the Niner Research System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
