For the first time in three years, students and faculty members were able to come together, and work in-person, on some of society’s most pressing issues as part of the summer LSAMP research program.
Their projects will tackle pressing societal concerns ranging from racial inequality in the U.S. to PFAS pollution, the need for better semiconductors, and energy conservation.
How can technology be a part of the solution to addressing the immense and complex issue of racial inequality in the United States? That is one of the fundamental questions that computer scientist Kenny Joseph is undertaking in his research, which is supported by a NSF CAREER award.
