Lam Research Corporation awarded a University of Dayton computer scientist and a doctoral graduate $25,000 for fundamental research on artificial intelligence for silicon crystal growth.
Tam Nguyen, assistant professor of computer science, and Pengfei Guo, who received his doctorate in electro-optics in 2018 under the guidance of Professor Andrew Sarangan, received the grant through Lam’s Unlock Ideas university grant program, which provides seed funding for research collaborations with professors to support feasibility testing of innovative ideas. The one-year grant runs through August and also supports two master’s degree students, Vatsa Patel and Shashi Adhikari, who are working on the project in Nguyen’s lab.
