It's More Than Research
At LSU, Louisiana's flagship institution, the research we perform is not only our duty, it's what drives us. From cancer and diabetes to coastal sustainability, energy, and agriculture, we improve the lives of our neighbors and loved ones every day. In the past year alone, LSU garnered $160 million in research funds, which returned $490 million in economic impact to the state.
The Future of AI Starts Here
Artificial intelligence technology enables us to compute large amounts of data and find answers to a myriad of questions faster than ever before. Our faculty and students are leveraging AI and machine learning, in their research and education in nearly every field.
