The International Doctoral Council has announced that researchers at the joint Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering have created an artificial intelligence tool to manage a modern power grid.
The new artificial intelligence tool developed by researchers at the FAMU-FSU Center for Advanced Power Systems could help make electric grids more reliable and reduce operating costs.
The system improves forecasts of electricity demand and renewable energy generation, giving grid operators better information to balance supply and demand.
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate will accept applications for the Homeland Security Professional Opportunities for Student Workforce to Experience Research initiative from October 2026 through January 2027.
The Office of University Programs supports the development of the homeland security science and engineering workforce through initiatives such as HS-POWER.
Recently, DHS recognized the conclusion of a 10-week HS-POWER internship, highlighting interns who contributed to the Science and Technology Directorate at the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency.
This program offers undergraduate and graduate students the chance to apply their skills and gain direct experience from subject matter experts.
Participants this summer included students in cybersecurity, computer science, electrical engineering, and digital forensics from Randolph-Macon College, New Mexico State University, California State University Dominguez Hills, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and University of Florida.
