New State of the Art GPU Machines

We're thrilled to share that our lab has significantly enhanced its computational prowess by integrating cutting-edge processing units. In a fruitful partnership with the UNM Computer Science Department, the Tumor AI lab has secured access to the coveted NVIDIA A100 GPU. Moreover, thanks to a generous grant from the University of New Mexico, we'll be adding an H100 processing unit to our arsenal. These advancements not only underscore our commitment to excellence but also position us at the forefront of computational research.

Kushal Virupakshappa Joins the Lab as Postdoctoral Trainee

Kushal earned his degree from the Illinois Institute of Technology, specializing in the application of Computer Vision and Machine Learning for Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). We are delighted to have him join our lab and extend a warm welcome to him. Learn more about Kushal in his personal page.
