Dr. Ninghao Liu has become the first faculty member at the University of Georgia to receive a Google Research Scholar Award, a $60,000 grant that supports early-career researchers in advancing fields that are relevant to Google.

Dr. Liu's award-winning proposal, "Enhancing Medical Knowledge in Multimodal Foundation Models through Self-Synthesized Data," introduces a novel framework that enables AI systems to generate their own training data. The AI then retrieves this medical knowledge and creates diverse, synthetic data samples, which the model can be fine-tuned to deliver more accurate, explainable, and accessible tools to assist doctors in diagnosis and patient care.

The School of Computing proudly congratulates Dr. Liu on this outstanding achievement.
