Assistant Professor in @FSUComputerSci Xiaonan Zhang (slide one) and her research team have won the Best Paper Runner-Up Award at the @IEEEorg / @TheOfficialACM 2026 Conference on Connected Health: Applications, Systems and Engineering Technologies!
Led by Zhang's doctoral student Hansong Zhou (slide two), the paper explores AI's ability to act as a "coach," encouraging users to adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
“Health behavioral change is inherently a long-term process, and sustained improvements in physical activity, diet, and sleep require continued support over time," Zhou said. "Our work examines how AI-based health coaching can maintain continuity across multiple sessions by tracking an individual's goals, progress, and barriers, while proactively guiding subsequent conversations."

Florida’s first formal graduate-level credential in quantum information science and engineering is officially at @FloridaState!
The Graduate Certificate in Quantum Science & Technology will provide graduate students and working professionals with rigorous training across quantum physics, materials science, chemistry, computer science and engineering.
The certificate is now accepting applications for Spring 2027 enrollment.
Administered by the FSU Quantum Initiative, the certificate draws on courses from multiple departments and two colleges — @FSUartssciences and @FAMUFSUCOE.
To learn more about the certificate, which positions FSU students and professionals to be leaders in one of the world’s fastest-growing technology fields, visit: fla.st/XG4XJWPW.

Want to learn more about AI's applications in chemistry?
Starting Aug. 6, @ChemistryFsu's AI Bootcamp will take place over six sessions, beginning with an introduction to large language models and concluding with a discussion on the benefits, risks, and future of AI in education.
Hosted by Assistant Professor Wen Zhu and Cottrell Family Professor Oliver Steinbock, both from @ChemistryFsu, the AI Bootcamp will feature talks by faculty and staff from across @FloridaState — @fsulibraries, @FSUSciComp, @FSUComputerSci, @FSUiSchool and more!
There will also be guest lectures from folks affiliated with @PNNLab, @CMUEngineering, @uflorida, @EmoryUniversity, and Synfini.
It is not required to attend all six sessions.
Each session will be held in the Chemical Sciences Laboratory (Room 1005), except the Aug. 7 session, which will be held in Room 1003.

As wildfire smoke spreads across parts of Canada and the U.S., @FloridaState experts are available to discuss the conditions fueling the fires, the risks to communities and the science behind wildfire response.
From @FSUComputerSci, Yushun Dong (top right) leads the Responsible AI Lab, working on a publicly available data-driven platform of U.S. nationwide wildfires empowered by AI technologies. He is also part of @TheRiderCenter.
From @FSUSciComp, Kevin Speer's (bottom right) climate expertise ranges from global ocean circulation to the dynamics of hydrothermal plumes. Recently retired, he served as director of the FSU Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute from 2011 to 2026 and was a leading expert on the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

Caleb Joseph is part of the inaugural cohort of the @FloridaState DC Study Away Program!
Joseph — a senior in @FSUComputerSci at @FSUartssciences — is presently in Washington, D.C. for @CapitalOne's Analyst Intern Program.
"At Capital One, I drive data-informed business decisions by conducting analysis and model refinement on credit line increase program data, and fine-tuning machine learning policies to improve second-order risk evaluation. I would like to share the importance of being involved outside the classroom, as the majority of my opportunities have come from putting myself out there and getting involved."
Directed by @FSUCareerCenter, the DC Study Away Program allows full-time enrolled degree seeking FSU students completing internships to live in a supportive community with their peers, where they can focus on their internships while benefiting from shared support and connection.
