Marquette University, through its membership in the Northwestern Mutual Data Science Institute, has awarded seven $50,000 grants to Marquette faculty to fund a variety of data science research projects touching on health care — mental, general and dental, food scarcity, and artificial intelligence learning.

The chosen projects represent five different colleges on campus, as well as the Graduate School, School of Dentistry and three community partners and will address:

  • Expanding access to mental health care with quantum computing and AI
  • Auto-completion capabilities for a patient’s chief complaint when seeing a doctor
  • Aligning AI and learned mental shortcuts
  • Predicting regional food shortages
  • Adaptive and low-cost machine learning methods for health care apps
  • Expanding computational abilities to diagnose cancer
  • Follow-up care after emergency department visits for nontraumatic dental conditions
