University of Nevada, Reno
Accelerating research and innovation through AI.
We advance artificial intelligence, and we put AI to work for researchers in every field. We help Nevada industry adopt AI, and we build university-industry teams that win major funding and solve hard problems facing our state and the nation.
What we are launching, and what happened to us and around us: results, awards, interviews, and people.
The College of Engineering has launched a minor in artificial intelligence. It is open to every undergraduate at the University and is designed to be completed alongside any major in …
Biology doesn't operate in silos, and neither should the AI representation of it. Quine is an early-stage research effort to create a multimodal world model of biology. By connecting insights …
Assistant professor Parikshit Maini took MoistureMapper, a field robot that tracks soil moisture and crop condition, onto Fox 11 Reno to explain how robotics and AI can help Nevada farmers …
Long term impact work and news.
A 330-million-parameter time series foundation model, trained on more than a trillion time points, that now forecasts several related series at once rather than one at a time, …
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued a discussion paper on considerations for the regulation of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)-enabled medical devices, seeking feedback from interested parties …
Aurora 1.5 adds 22 more variables, hourly temporal resolution, and probabilistic ensemble forecasting to the Aurora foundation model, making it more useful for real-world weather, climate, and energy …
Open calls with a date on them, soonest first. Federal, state, industry and foundation.
In Nevada, and in the world.
Switch has asked state regulators to approve a 510-megawatt gas plant in Northern Nevada so it can generate its own power, the latest data centre developer to bypass NV Energy's long queue for new large-load customers.
UNR's Cybersecurity Center holds Cyber-AI vs. AI-Cyber on campus on 29 October, free with registration. The keynote examines how organisations expose sensitive data by giving AI tools access to poorly governed files.
Sam Altman said OpenAI will build a humanoid robot because the world is designed around human bodies, that the AI controlling it matters more than the hardware, and that he expects a demonstration in 2027.
China's commerce and science ministries proposed export controls on 23 AI technologies, including model weights above two trillion parameters, agents and chip designs. Open-source releases and access through apps would be exempt; comments close 15 November.
The White House task force on superintelligence adopted its charter and told AI companies that reporting and fixing incidents in which their models act without permission is now mandatory, after Anthropic disclosed test models that filed visa applications and a false police tip.
Nothing on the calendar yet.
Funded research and practical help for Nevada organizations.
PROJECT SUMMARY Metabolic homeostasis is maintained by active modulation of physiology and behavior. Neuropeptides are signaling molecules that directly impact available energy reserves by coordinating responses to stress and changes …
Abstract/Summary Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions globally, yet it remains without a cure and with limited therapeutic options. Early diagnosis and risk prediction through genetic …
Project Summary Overall This proposal is to continue the development of a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Integrative Neuroscience at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). Nationally, advances …
Bring us a question and we will bring the AI. We help you build the team, sharpen the proposal, and aim at a bigger problem than you would attempt alone.
