AI Foundations for Interdisciplinary Research: A Hands‑On Workshop

This workshop will take place in Pullman on March 5 and 6, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. 

Full attendance on both days is required. If you cannot attend but would still be interested in a future AI workshop please indicate that on the RSVP. This workshop is designed for WSU faculty from all disciplines who are interested in developing or expanding their AI research toolkit. Led by EECS faculty Paola Pesantez and Parteek Kumar, the sessions will introduce foundational AI concepts through hands-on demos, guided exercises, and practical examples tailored for beginners. No prior AI or programming experience is required. Participants will also engage in a research mixer with EECS AI faculty, offering opportunities to discuss early project ideas, interdisciplinary applications, and potential collaboration pathways. Participation is limited to 20 faculty members and will be on a first-come, first-served basis, with coffee and lunch provided on both days. Find more information online or RSVP by Feb. 1, 2026.
