Episode Details

Virginia Tech’s AI research is soaring with three major projects awarded $500K–$750K each from the DOE’s new Genesis Mission—aiming to revolutionize quantum computing, weather forecasting, and rare earth extraction. Selected from 5,000+ applications, these nine-month initiatives could unlock up to $15M in follow-on funding if successful. One team, including Microsoft collaborators, tackles quantum data accuracy; another trains AI to predict weather with unprecedented precision; and a third, partnering with Aclara Resources, optimizes mineral extraction under dynamic conditions. Meanwhile, Virginia-based VPT Inc. graduates a state export program, poised to expand its power conversion tech into global markets for aviation, defense, and space.
