In the article "GW Engineering Professor Receives Department of Energy Genesis Mission Award," GW Today announced that Michael Keidar, the A. James Clark Professor of Engineering, received an inaugural award from the Department of Energy's (DOE) Genesis Mission. Focused on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into research and development, this initiative award provides Keidar funding to use AI to accelerate his work on low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) with implications across many sectors, from biomedicine to environmental remediation.
Here is an excerpt from the article: "LTPs can be applied to human tissue for an expanding range of therapeutic purposes. One type of plasma could deliver nitric oxide, a molecule known to accelerate wound healing; another might selectively kill cancer cells without damaging healthy tissue. In every case, AI-driven therapeutic devices will monitor and analyze a patient’s individual response to this “adaptive plasma” and instantly adjust their treatment."
