Modeling emotion and artistic style with A.I.

The James Wang Research Group invites applications from highly motivated undergraduate honors students to participate in its multidisciplinary research programs. Led by Dr. James Z. Wang, Distinguished Professor, the group conducts cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence and computer vision, with applications spanning art, medicine, biology, and related fields.

Undergraduate honors students will have the opportunity to engage in rigorous, research-driven projects, contribute to scholarly publications, and collaborate within a dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment. We particularly encourage applications from women and individuals from groups that have been historically underrepresented in computing, artificial intelligence, and related fields. All qualified applicants will receive full consideration.
