RAISE-25 challenged teams to unravel the scope of AI’s impact on our lives and human society. RAISE-25 is a novel Informatics, Advanced Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Competition. This year competitors were asked one of the most defining questions of our time: What will our AI-powered future look like? From February through the culminating event on April 11 the Next-Gen Tech Thinkers worked meticulously to answer this question. The team representing Montclair this year consisted of students: Blessing Austin-Gabriel, Ernest Chianumba, Shibbir Ahmed Arif, Cristian Noriega and Keerthana Gajari and Faculty Mentors: Dr. Aparna Varde and Dr. Hao Liu.
Our students demonstrated exceptional dedication and innovative thinking throughout this prestigious competition. As mentors, we are immensely proud of their hard work and intellectual contributions.
Please join us in congratulating Team Next-Gen Tech Thinkers on this great achievement and for continuing the School, College and University’s tradition of excellence in data science!
