Overview

The Chair will act as a catalyst to establish a global collaboration that will address the societal challenges and opportunities brought forth by the widespread use and increasing power of artificial intelligence. This new role at the university will further position MSOE at the forefront of artificial intelligence education and next generation technologies. MSOE has made significant investments in this space over the past 4 years, beginning with a $34 million gift from MSOE Regent and alumnus Dr. Dwight Diercks and his wife Dian to build the Dwight and Dian Diercks Computational Science Hall. Diercks Hall opened in 2019 and is home to “Rosie,” an NVIDIA GPU-accelerated supercomputer.
