The department is delighted to share that our faculty members, Professors Yingcheng Sun, Minjeong Kim, and Qianqian Tong, won the 2025 Chancellor’s Initiative for Transformative Research (CITR) award (Category IV Awardee: Advancing critical technologies). This is the first time of the selective seed funding program from the Chancellor’s Office to support high-impact research initiatives aligned with UNCG’s Strategic Plan. Only one award was selected for each of the four categories, which means that our department’s research is highly recognized.
The project title is “Toward Trustworthy and Privacy-Preserving AI for Next-Generation Medication Assistance: A Multimodal Learning Copilot.” This program is directed towards the creation of a privacy-preserving, multimodal AI copilot that supports clinicians with medication guidance, clinical trial matching, and patient care while safeguarding sensitive health data.
