At the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, experts in the mathematics, sciences, and engineering disciplines of AI have joined forces to seize this unique opportunity to advance these national priorities, starting here in Tennessee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vision of UT\u2019s Science-Informed AI cluster is to lead in these areas by advancing science-informed AI in intelligent engineering systems. We will focus specifically on innovations within additive manufacturing and hypersonic defense. These systems, which align with the university&#8217;s strengths and priorities, generate multimodal, multiphysics data that challenges today\u2019s state-of-the-art AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will address the grand challenge of developing foundational multiscale, multimodal models for AI that respect the physical laws and chemical properties governing underlying processes. We\u2019re taking up this challenge as we build a critical mass of high-caliber researchers ready to lead multi-investigator, multimillion-dollar projects\u2014and ready to make an impact in Tennessee and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cutting-Edge Collaboration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re connecting experienced leaders and rising stars from fields
