Kyle Brumfield and Rita Colwell are developing a forecasting system that can predict the risk of coming into contact with Vibrio bacteria.

The award supports the development of advanced computational methods to uncover deeper insights into species’ evolutionary relationships.

UMIACS Postdoc Kyle Brumfield is using DNA sequencing and other technologies to study how environmental factors like climate can impact waterborne pathogens.

The event will focus on discrete algorithms and machine learning tools that can address important challenges in molecular biology.

The NSF-funded project leverages AI and diverse environmental data to better predict and manage wildfires.
