DES Professor Supratik Mukhopadhyay and his team are developing new ways to use artificial intelligence to stop wildfires.

Their AI engine, DeepFire, just advanced to the final round of a major international competition, XPRIZE Wildfire.

DeepFire contains interacting systems designed to predict, detect and map the spread of wildfires. The map above predicts which areas of Calgary are of highest and lowest concern for fires for a specific time frame.

“I originally chose computer science as I didn’t want to go to graduate school. Ironically, I love what I’m doing now enough, I ended up in graduate school anyway,” says Brennen Calato from Mandeville, Louisiana, who graduated from LSU as a university medalist with a bachelor’s degree in computer science last semester and is now pursuing a master’s degree with support from the NSF Scholarship for Service program at LSU, doing research to solve cyber crimes. “It’s a chance to give back to the community, which includes strangers, but also the people who have loved and supported you your whole life. It’s a chance to make the world a safer place.”
