Virginia Tech Receives $20 Million Grant for AI-Enabled Semiconductor Lab
Virginia Tech has been awarded a $20 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation to establish an AI-enabled cloud-based semiconductor laboratory. The Virginia Tech Programmable Cloud Laboratory (PCL) Node will be part of a nationwide network of AI-enabled automated laboratories. This initiative aims to make semiconductor facilities remotely accessible to a wide range of users, including students, startups, and small businesses. The project is part of the U.S. government's Genesis Mission to harness AI for scientific discovery.
