HKBU professors use AI for neuroscience and urban sustainability research

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) professors are leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for significant research projects. Professor Zhou Changsong is using AI to develop predictive models for neuroscience, aiming to understand brain function and identify early biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases. Professor Gao Meng is employing AI machine learning to create dynamic models for the Greater Bay Area, predicting how urban planning and energy transitions can mitigate extreme heat and air pollution. Both researchers have received substantial funding from the Research Grants Council (RGC) for their five-year projects. AI

IMPACT AI is enabling novel approaches to complex problems in neuroscience and urban planning, potentially leading to clinical applications and more sustainable cities.
