Cesium Lead Bromide (CsPbBr3) is a perovskite material, a class of materials that is revolutionizing solar cells and other devices that convert light into electricity while being thinner, cheaper, more flexible, and easier to make than traditional silicon-based devices.

LSU's College of Engineering Dean Vicki Colvin has invited retired Texas A&M Professor Emeritus Alan Needleman to speak in Patrick F. Taylor Hall on Friday, Jan. 30, 3-4:30 p.m., in room 1100. Needleman, who recently retired from Texas A&M's Materials Science and Engineering Department, is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has received the Prager Medal of the Society of Engineering Science and the Timoshenko Medal of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He also holds honorary doctorates from the Technical University of Denmark and Ecole Normale Superior de Cachan (France) and is an Honorary Professor of Dalian University of Technology (China).

It’s become impossible not to associate the future with artificial intelligence. AI and machine learning technologies are poised to make as large an impact on human life as the Industrial Revolution did, if not a larger one In this Q&A, we ask James Ghawaly Jr., an assistant professor in the LSU College of Engineering with a joint appointment in the LSU Center for Computation & Technology (CCT), about his views on the future of AI research.
