Thank you to @STEMLibraryLab for inviting us to participate in their Coastal & Environmental Communities of Practice/Meet Up Fair to talk to teachers about our educational resources!
Additional thanks to @TU_K12_STEM for their partnership.

🌊New Publication Alert!
Flood maps from FEMA, USACE & USGS exist — but remain isolated. This study builds a unified database integrating multi-source flood maps with the National Water Model for better forecasting.

Big news from the lab, we will have a voice at Becker's this September! 🎙️
Yusuf Sermet will be speaking on a panel titled "AI Agents on the Clinical Side: Concerns and Capabilities" at @BeckersHR 11th Annual Health IT + Digital Health + RCM Conference in Chicago on September 16
He was also recently featured in a Becker's Healthcare piece on why digital health initiatives fail. Worth a read 👇 beckershospitalreview.com/hi… #DigitalHealth #HealthIT #AI #BeckersHealthcare
We're proud to share that our @UIHILab director, Dr. @demiribr, has been invested as the Michael A. Fitts Presidential Chair in Environmental Informatics and Artificial Intelligence at @Tulane🎉
A well-deserved honor!🌊

Our lab recently participated in the BATS event @TulaneUniversity, introducing students to flood resilience through FloodCraft and Flood Game — immersive simulations bridging hydroinformatics research and real-world impact. Grateful to @TulaneSSE for an inspiring day! 💧
The “One-Size-Fits-All” classroom is officially a thing of the past.
We are thrilled to share that our new chapter with Springer is now live! We explore how Generative AI and NLP are changing the way we assess learning—not just by grading,
Vocational Excellence: Exploring how models like ChatGPT are being used to master domains like engineering & water quality management.
Data-Driven Decision Making: How these tools translate complex data into user-friendly interpretations, helping students act on their own.
The Ethical Compass: A deep dive into the “must-solve” challenges of fairness, transparency, and data privacy to ensure AI-driven education remains equitable.
Let’s build a more equitable and efficient future for education!

Is AI the future of Engineering Education? 🎓
We are thrilled to share our latest research published in Scientific Reports: "Evaluating AI-powered learning assistants in engineering higher education."

- Support, Not a Shortcut: Students primarily use AI as a supplemental tool for brainstorming and clarification, rather than a replacement for human-led instruction.
- The Policy Gap: While students are eager to use AI, they are often held back by ethical uncertainty and a lack of clear institutional guidelines.
