Student Research Projects
The following research projects have been conducted by student fellows of the AI for Humanity Lab, reflecting our commitment to applied, interdisciplinary AI research with real-world impact.
Therapeutic VR Journey
Candidate: Grace Ogwo | Doctor of Technology
Supervisor: Prof. Itamar Shabtai | AI for Humanity Lab, CISAT, Claremont Graduate University
Therapeutic VR Journey is a virtual reality experience designed to support mental and emotional well-being for chronically and terminally ill patients. The project asks a profound question: What if we could give chronically and terminally ill patients back a sense of peace, wonder, and control — right from their bedside?
The application delivers serenity, memory recall, and moments of legacy-building through immersive 3D worlds — designed to be calm, accessible, and deeply human-centered.
Governed QC-AI-HPC Orchestration for Quantum Simulation of Non-Druggable NSCLC Tumor Suppressor Mutations
Doctoral Candidate: Doron Cohen
Supervisor: Prof. Itamar Shabtai | AI for Humanity Lab, CISAT, Claremont Graduate University
This dissertation presents a first-of-its-kind FDA 21 CFR Part 11-governed quantum-chemistry orchestration system for oncology. Approximately 60% of NSCLC patients have no FDA-approved targeted therapy due to non-druggable TP53 mutations. This research addresses that gap by combining quantum computing, AI, and high-performance computing (HPC) into a three-layer architecture for molecular simulation.
Key Contribution: A BQP-relevance classification framework for non-druggable oncology targets, a novel Part-11 compliance framework for probabilistic quantum binding data, and a bifurcation-aware orchestration system that bridges IBM quantum systems and Nvidia infrastructure.
