At the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, Winston Wu is helping shape how artificial intelligence (AI) is taught both in Hawaiʻi and across the country. Wu, a computer science assistant professor, has been selected as one of 25 educators nationwide for the inaugural National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource AI Education Fellows program, led by the National Science Foundation. The cohort represents 23 states.
As a fellow, Wu will help design and test new teaching tools for AI courses. He will also support other faculty in bringing these materials into their classrooms and help guide the program’s national direction.
“These Fellows will serve as ambassadors for AI education across the country,” said Jeff Forbes, who leads the national program. “By elevating their leadership and connecting them nationally, we’re amplifying both their impact and the broader goals of the [program].”
At UH Hilo, Wu’s work connects advanced technology with local needs. His research focuses on language and machine learning, with an emphasis on multilingual tools and support for language revitalization.
He teaches courses ranging from introductory programming to advanced topics in language-based computing. He also coaches UH Hilo’s competitive programming teams.
Wu’s fellowship runs through early 2027 and includes a stipend and national visibility as an AI educator.
