BUILDING AN AI CHATBOT FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS.
COMPUTATIONAL SIMULATIONS TO DESIGN NEW TWO-DIMENSIONAL SYSTEMS TO BE USED IN DISPLAY DEVICES OR LIGHT SENSORS.
Our role is to help design and run atomic scale simulations for two-dimensional metal dichalcogenide layers with photochromic molecules, alongside data compilation and result analysis.
My role is to help design a comprehensive system architecture for the chatbot to ensure seamless integration and efficient functionality.
I am encouraged to question and jump deeper into my research findings. The opportunity to engage in research related to the current market’s hot topics are incredibly valuable for my career and learning. The prospect of producing tangible project outcomes in this field adds significant value to my professional development.
Working with faculty and participating in research means the opportunity to engage in a hands-on, collaborative learning experience that allows us to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. It also provides the chance to explore new ideas and subjects in depth, and a chance to push ourselves intellectually. Miniaturizing electronic devices such as cell phones, smart watches, sensors, etc. is the mainstream in advancing technology. Because of their small size and unique properties, developing two-dimensional semiconducting materials is a key factor in continuing the downsizing of electronic devices.
This is the new trend with regard to how our society will use the internet in the future. Users will no longer need to do keyword searches to derive answers.
