2025 AIChE Annual Meeting

AI Research and Teaching Assistants As Thought Partners

Author

Imagine an engineering textbook that explains student questions on demand, viz. "Can you provide another explanation of entropy? I don't quite understand." Imagine a trained and knowledgeable research mentor and coach that provides you with critical feedback on likely gaps before you submit a proposal. This presentation will give an overview of how to create AI assistants that are trained to score draft proposals with a technical persona trained in your research field, coach trainees, and provide interactive feedback on a closed knowledge set for on-boarding and professional development.
