Greetings to all:
Thanks to your support, we won the “Public choice award” at the NSF- STEM for all video Showcase events. If you have not yet seen the video, you can still watch it at the following link https://stemforall2022.videohall.com/presentations/2532
The video became part of the “STEM for all Multiplex” collection, the most extensive collection of videos of initiatives funded by federal agencies to improve education in STEM disciplines.
This was possible thanks to the efforts of our scholarship recipients—my special recognition to Carlos Malca, Yelitce Reales, and Claudia Zuluaga.
The funds granted will be used for research in the development of biosensors, artificial intelligence and materials and battery electrochemistry.
With approximately $20M to develop physical and human infrastructure in areas of wearable technology, UPR’s Center for the Advancement of Wearable Technology (CAWT), sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), grants seed money to 4 new professors for research in the three main areas of the proposal: sensors for medical applications, power for those sensors (development of batteries capable of keeping the sensor working) and artificial intelligence.
Doctors Abdelrahman Elsaid from the Department of Engineering and Computer Sciences at UPR Mayagüez, José Lugo-Martínez from the Department of Computer Sciences at Río Piedras, Camilo Mora from the Department of Chemical Engineering at UPR Mayagüez and Xianyong Wu from the Department of Chemistry at Río Piedras.
