Welcome to LAIER
In the LAIER, we design, build and evaluate technology related to machine learning, human-computer interaction and diversity and inclusion.
The LAIER strives to contribute to authorship attribution, human-computer interaction, privacy, security and social computing.
In the LAIER, we design, build and evaluate technology related to machine learning, human-computer interaction and diversity and inclusion.
The Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence and Equity Research (LAIER, pronounced "lair") will encompass work on a diverse set of topics within artificial intelligence related to the following:
The interdisciplinary research approach of LAIER provides a rich and diverse learning experience to graduate researchers.
Information is currency, and its protection and management are gold. North Carolina Central University students and faculty unlock major discoveries that address critical challenges in our society with leadership, creativity and the technical skills of information science, library science and computing.
Established in 2020, the LAIER is developing a community of researchers who are here to assist and encourage you. Our team is composed of enthusiastic contributors who are highly motivated to work with new ideas.
One of our core purposes is to find ways in which technology can be available to people from all walks of life. To do this, we explore innovative design methodologies and the development of user interactions with technology. For this purpose to have support, we engage in collaborative analysis, journal publications, audience participation and workshops.
Real-time Fault Diagnosis for Self-Driving Vehicles
The proposed work will provide real-time diagnosis of transient, intermittent and permanent faults that occur in a self-driving car. This analysis will substantially improve the performance and accuracy of fault classification/identification in complex systems. Multi-perspective error detection techniques, including discrete-event system analysis, data-driven analysis, and chip-level analysis, will be combined to diagnose faults in automotive systems.
Cultivating and Developing Your STEM Identity through a Hybrid Model of Engagement to Adolescent Girls
The STEM workforce has a disparity in gender and of historically disenfranchised groups. In partnership with the Pitt County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (PCACDST), we hope to serve as change agents for their Delta Academy program (PCACDST) by investigating the perceptions, attitudes and behaviors of adolescent girls and by instilling confidence for the curation and developed on a STEM identity (i.e., STEM-It-Yourself [SIY]).
Virtual Support for Black Women Living Positively
Research has consistently shown that medication adherence is influenced by the presence and management of stress. The relationship between high levels of stress and health is particularly problematic for racial minorities and persons who live with a chronic condition. Black African-American women living with HIV are especially vulnerable. This vulnerability has likely increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and concurrent racial traumas.

To lead by example, the IF/THEN Ambassadors Program showcases 125 women from various STEM fields and life experiences. Among them is Siobahn Day Grady, the first woman to graduate with a Ph.D. in computer science from North Carolina A&T State University.
We’re shining a spotlight on women in a variety of fields who are making the world a better (and cooler) place to be. They build robots, find new sources of energy, study animals, help your favorite teams win games, play with slime, and design apps, showing girls all the different career pathways they can pursue and how STEM impacts their lives every day. These are your new Role Models.
As a child, Siobahn Day Grady enjoyed regular visits to the Museum of Life and Science in Durham. Exploring the educational exhibits and riding the Santa train are among her fondest memories.
If you’ve been to the Museum recently, you may have seen the new video installation featuring women in STEM with local connections, presented in partnership with the If/Then Initiative. The Initiative is a national effort to inspire girls and create a culture shift in how the world perceives women in science, centered on the idea that “IF we support a woman in STEM, THEN she can change the world.”
As a partner on the If/Then Initiative, the Museum is showcasing videos of some ambassadors with local connections in a new installation in the Social Gallery, next to Aerospace and Play to Learn. Next time you visit, you can learn the stories of computer scientist Dr. Siobahn Day Grady….
In our 27th episode, we had the opportunity to interview Dr. Siobahn Day Grady, an established assistant professor at North Carolina Central University and founder of the STEM-it-yourself program, about her journey to success and experiences with AI.
On behalf of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, we are excited to invite you to the launch of the Cybersecurity Forensics Hub for Women created by the Center of Excellence in….
LAIER researcher Grace Dossou will be continuing her education at Yale University!
Congratulations to LAIER researcher Latasha Reid-Daniels for receiving the BlackcomputeHER Fellowship.
HARNETT COUNTY, N.C. – Fresh off graduation from the NC School of Science and Mathematics, Grace Dossou still has stacks of notes.
LAIER researcher Latasha Reid-Daniels will be continuing her education at North Carolina State as a Ph.D. candidate in their Psychology Education program!
My friends and I have a secret Santa tradition that we’ve kept up since college. A group of nine of us draw names and then send along a present in the mail. It’s been a good way to stay in touch around the holidays and something I look forward to every year.
