WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. As student interests in computing-related majors and societal impact of artificial intelligence and chips continue to rise rapidly, Purdue Universitys Board of Trustees announced Friday (April 14) a major initiative, Purdue Computes.
Purdue Computes is made up of three pillars: academic resource of the computing departments, strategic AI research, and semiconductor education and innovation. This story highlights Pillar 2: strategic research in AI.
At the intersection between the virtual and the physical, Purdue will leapfrog to prominence between the bytes of AI and the atoms of growing, making and moving things: the university and states long-standing strength.
The Purdue Institute for Physical AI (IPAI) will be the cornerstone of the universitys unprecedented push into bytes-meet-atoms research. By developing both foundational AI and its applications to We Grow, We Make, We Move, faculty will transform AI development through physical applications, and vice versa.
IPAIs creation is based on extensive faculty input and unique strength of research excellence at Purdue. Open agricultural data, neuromorphic computing, deep fake detection, edge AI systems, smart transportation data and AI-based manufacturing are among the variety of cutting-edge topics to be explored by IPAI through several current and emerging university research centers. The centers are the backbone of the IPAI, building upon Purdues existing and developing AI and cybersecurity strengths as well as workforce development. New degrees and certificates for both residential and online students will be developed for students interested in physical AI.
Through this strategic research leadership, Purdue is focusing current and future assets on areas that will carry research into the next generation of technology, said Karen Plaut, executive vice president of research. Successes in the lab and the classroom on these topics will help tomorrows leaders tackle the worlds evolving challenges.
