The University of Wyoming has reported their ability to use artificial intelligence and high-performance computing to solve problems in areas including the environment, energy, agriculture and public health will take a major step forward through a nearly $4 million grant to acquire state-of-the-art computing infrastructure from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

UW Director of Institutional Communications Chad Baldwin made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to speak on the award and how it will increase the research in many fields of study at the University.
