Prairie View A&M University and Texas Southern University are putting their long-term rivalry to rest to join together on a new partnership. The two Texas HBCUs are coming together for a $2.2 million AI research project. The project will use AI technology to accelerate the process of acquiring new materials.
Texas A&M University and the University of Michigan are also involved in the project. Texas Southern is taking the lead on the project after receiving funding from the U.S. Department of Defense’s Air Force Office of Scientific Research. $600,000 of the funds will go to Prairie View A&M to support a large portion of the project. Together they will establish the Center for Scientific Machine Learning for Material Sciences.
Faculty from both universities will be spearheading the proj
