Program Announcements

CogSci student Evana Gizzi won a follow-on grant at NASA for the 2020 research project 'RAISR' (Research in AI for Spacecraft Resilience), in which she served as Principal Investigator. The research ended with elevated excitement from NASA, which included multiple presentations of RAISR across the organization. Evana will be focusing on using the efforts of the 2021 follow-on grant to cultivate collaboration and funding for Tufts University AI research.
