Title: Teaching Associate Professor
College/Department: CAS and Biological Sciences
Student Enrollment: 31
Course: Virology
Proposal 1: This project introduces a gamification component to help students learn the history of virology through immersive scenarios, such as simulations of HIV transmission. CITL will assist in using AI tools to create animated plotlines and narrate complex storylines. The fellowship also explores bringing these gamified case studies to a broader audience through potential collaborations with the Baker Institute.
CITL/I&O Collaborators: Chris Harvey
Proposal 2: This redesign tasks students with creating hypothetical vaccine or gene therapy viral vector systems. Students will use generative AI to design their modalities and then pitch their ideas to "AI Venture Capitalists" programmed with specific criteria. CITL will support the creation of this AI sandbox and facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations with business faculty to provide feedback on scalability and marketability.
CITL/I&O Collaborators: Tarah Cicero, Rob Weidman, and Mark Scott
