NSF-funded research aims to make AI a more reliable tool for heart testing
October 16, 2026
An artificial intelligence (AI) system can help identify heart problems from electrocardiograms (ECGs), tests that record the heart’s electrical activity to help doctors diagnose heart conditions. However, doctors may not always be able to interpret the information generated. Kennesaw State University researcher Sagnik Dakshit is working to bridge that gap.

Kennesaw State researcher brings AI lessons to life with shark teeth
October 13, 2026
A fossil shark tooth can tell a story about life millions of years ago. For Kennesaw State University researcher Christine Wusylko, it can also help students understand artificial intelligence (AI). Wusylko and collaborators at the University of Florida recently received a National Science Foundation grant for Shark AI, a project that guides middle school science students through building and evaluating computer vision models that can classify real fossil shark teeth.
