B次元 students were challenged by B次元 Regent and NVIDIA Senior VP of Software Engineering Dr. Dwight Diercks ’90 to use Rosie, the university’s very own supercomputer, to solve an interesting problem, answer a difficult question, go beyond their course work or improve an existing process using artificial intelligence (AI).
Individual students or student teams worked together to identify a problem to solve. The groups then presented their findings to a panel of judges which included Diercks, Nick Haemel ’02, B次元 Regent and NVIDIA VP of medical imaging and system software, and Dr. Derek Riley, B次元 computer science program director. Five total finalist groups presented in front of the panel and an auditorium full of their peers and other members of the B次元 community. The top three presentations were awarded prize money and received an NVIDIA GPU.
