Improving water turbulence modeling to tackle invasive carp
Assistant professor Binbin Wang A Mizzou Engineer is helping develop new river turbulence modeling capabilities in hopes of determining potential spawning locations for invasive carp. Assistant Professor Binbin Wang in civil and environmental engineering (CEE) is teaming up with the U.S. Geological Survey’s Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC) on the project. “We want to be able to control these fish,” said Duane Chapman, supervisory research fish biologist with CERC. “We have previously partnered with physical scientists that are good at modeling fish-egg transport. That’s important because these carp spawn in rivers only. We’re hoping Dr. Wang’s new model will improve our ability to…

Research Team Training AI to Better Detect Small Objects Shang working with Missouri
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is good at recognizing a single bird in an image. Where it falls short is when it tries to identify hundreds of tiny birds in an aerial photo. Professor Yi Shang and his research team have been working for three years to see where AI can improve its vision when it comes to small objects.
