AI+ Projects
If a statistician is like a cook and a data analysis is like the meal they serve, then this project is about keeping the knives sharp. To perform a Bayesian analysis, we often generate random samples from a complicated probability distribution called the posterior. The algorithms we use to do this...
Historic artworks offer a unique window into the past, providing rich insight into history, culture, and tradition. Despite their profound significance, many works remain shrouded in mystery, raising questions about their origins, creators, and the circumstances of their production. Some of these questions can be addressed through advanced image acquisition...
This is an innovative project that explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and mathematics. This initiative aims to leverage AI’s capabilities in pattern recognition and exhaustive search to tackle complex problems in discrete mathematics, such as finding counterexamples to open conjectures. By framing these mathematical challenges as computational problems, students...
A group of students, guided by climate science and environmental engineering professors, will use deep learning models to enhance flash flood predictions in the Southeastern United States. They will study extreme weather events that contribute to flooding and learn to identify these events using satellite and radar imagery. By applying...
Is it ethically permissible to sell, buy, and use luxury goods? What labor practices do we tolerate to make these goods available? In the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, England was faced with an ever-growing supply of new and exciting goods, made possible by new trade routes to the New...
Is it ethically permissible to sell, buy, and use luxury goods? What labor practices do we tolerate to make these goods available? This project traces the early history of these questions as European powers started to exploit the natural resources and peoples of the New World. We want to trace...
A team of students led by researchers in Energy Materials and Machine Learning groups, supervised by Prof. Olivier Delaire and Prof. David Carlson, will develop means to evaluate and quantity motions of atoms in novel materials for energy conversion and energy storage. This project will advance our understanding of two...
A team of students, guided by computer vision lab researchers and the coaching staff of Duke Women’s Basketball, is set to create a suite of tools designed to automatically analyze gameplay from video clips using computer vision techniques. They will construct a computer vision application capable of pinpointing players’ positions...

Fluid mechanics is the study of how fluids (e.g., air, water) move and the forces on them. Scientists and engineers have developed mathematical equations to model the motions of fluid and inertial particles. However, these equations are often computationally expensive, meaning they take a long time for the computer to...
