Can artificial intelligence tools help predict stock price movement and volatility? Two Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ researchers believe so.

After nearly two years of construction, the POET Bioproducts Center has officially opened its doors to the region's leading bioprocessing scientists. The new laboratory, located in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Park at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, will bring researchers from SDSU and South Dakota Mines together with industry partners to scale up innovative biotechnologies and varying South Dakota's economy.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ will begin a four-year program to improve perinatal health outcomes through the implementation of Alliance for Innovation and Maternal Health patient safety bundles at hospitals and birthing centers across South Dakota.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s program to address substance use disorder in South Dakota has received additional funding to combat substance use overdose. A new award of $300,000 from the Health Resources and Services Administration will result in a one-year program titled START-SD.

Farmers across the United States will be able to monitor their crops in real time, thanks to a novel algorithm from researchers in Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ's Geospatial Sciences Center of Excellence.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ's world-renowned Image Processing Lab was recognized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration during the 2022 Robert H. Goddard Awards, held earlier this year.

Through a nearly $100,000 grant, the National Science Foundation has positioned Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ to help improve the nation's research enterprise. One of the NSF’s primary goals is to increase the United States' ability to conduct high-quality, impactful research.

Over the past two decades, the United States has been importing more and more avocados each year, underlining a growing obsession with the nutrient-dense fruit. Simultaneously, the U.S. and the rest of the world have been dealing with a growing environmental crisis spurred on by an overreliance on plastic. Could avocados — specifically avocado peels — provide a potential solution?

The National Institutes of Health will fund work in the newly created Center of Biomedical Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Excellence through a $10.9 million, five-year federal grant. Led by Adam Hoppe, professor of chemistry and biochemistry, the center aims to expand existing partnerships with South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and the Biomedical Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Infrastructure Network at the University of South Dakota.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵers at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ focused on the humanities and social sciences conducted several research initiatives during 2022 with outcomes that will have lasting impacts on the citizens of South Dakota and their communities.
