NJIT receives $5 million NASA grant to launch AI solar eruption research center
Summary: NJIT has received a $5 million grant from NASA to establish the AI-Powered Solar Eruption Center of Excellence in Research and Education. This center will focus on improving predictions of solar eruptions using artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The center will collaborate with NASA, New York University, and IBM to enhance understanding of solar flares and coronal mass ejections. It aims to create a comprehensive dataset of solar activity over multiple cycles to improve forecasting accuracy.
In addition to research, the center will develop educational programs for students and teachers, promoting STEM education. This initiative is part of a broader $45 million funding effort by NASA to support research at various institutions.
