Abby Bertics Launches Podcast on The Economist on the Future of Learning in the Age of AI

In lectures halls and classrooms across America, a quiet revolution is underway. Students are using AI to write essays, solve problems, and even make daily decision, while professors scramble to detect cheating with invisible traps. The Economist's former AI reporter, Abby Bertics, PhD student in the Geometric Intelligence Lab, reports from campus about an education system in crisis, and asks what the future might look like as students begin to tap into a tool that can think quicker, write faster, and teach better.

From the Lab to the Airwaves: Dr. Nina Miolane on the Mind Over Matter Podcast

Dr. Nina Miolane recently appeared on Mind Over Matter for a deep and wide-ranging conversation with host Anita Okorie. The episode delves into geometric artificial intelligence, natural intelligence, and how cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques are being used to study neurodegenerative diseases.

Nina Miolane Gives Public Lecture at the Center for Aging and Longevity Studies

Dr. Nina Miolane, Assistant Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at UC Santa Barbara, hosted an enlightening lecture on how artifical intelligence can improve our understanding of healthy and pathological aging. Dr. Miolane’s research combines geometric and topological methods with cutting-edge AI techniques like machine learning and deep learning to address key challenges in neuroscience, including Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases!

Our Project "An AI Model of the Maternal Brain" is Awarded $1M Funding by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative

We have been awarded $1M funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) to develop an AI model of the maternal brain, offering unprecedented insights into how the brain changes during pregnancy and motherhood.

Nina Miolane Hosts with the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative in New York

Our Principal Investigator, Nina Miolane, recently gave an engaging talk in New York City, hosted by the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative and The Lower Eastside Girls Club. As a Co-Director of the WBHI AI Core, Dr. Miolane shared her insights on the AI digital twin of the maternal brain, contributing to the event's mission of advancing the study of women's brain health through deeply collaborative science.

Nina Miolane Delivers Keynote Speech at CZI Imaging the Future

We are proud to share that Nina Miolane, PI of the Geometric Intelligence Lab, delivered a keynote speech at this year's CZI Imagine the Future event. Her presentation focused on critical issues of data disparity and the underrepresentation of women-specific health factors in published imaging research.

"Less than 0.5% percent of brain imaging articles published over the last 25 years consider health factors specific to women."
