Signal and image sciences community celebrates record-breaking 30th annual CASIS workshop
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory called and the signal and image sciences community answered: The Center for Advanced Signal and Image Sciences (CASIS) hosted their 30th annual workshop at the University of California Livermore Collaboration Center (UCLCC) on June 24-25, setting new records for attendance and technical contributions in the workshop’s three-decade history. This year’s workshop drew 303 registrants, a 35% increase over 2025 and more than double the attendance of just three years ago, along with around 70 talks and 55 posters spanning eight tracks on a parallel agenda: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, National Ignition Facility, Non-Destructive Evaluation, Quantum Sensing and Quantum Computing, Remote Sensing/Non-Invasive Imaging and Inverse Problems, Robotics and Automation, a dedicated student track, and a tutorial and seminar track. CASIS’s audience has grown more balanced in recent years, with participation from outside the Lab rising from about 20% of attendees three years ago to 45% this year.

Today, the U.S. Department of Energy announced funding for new projects that will harness artificial intelligence to accelerate discovery. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) will lead 13 projects and collaborate as a partner on more than 30 others. The projects are part of DOE’s Genesis Mission, a historic national initiative that aims to build the world’s most powerful integrated science discovery platform. By uniting government, industry, academia, and philanthropy, it seeks to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, scientific discovery, and national security through a new platform that combines AI, supercomputing, quantum systems, and advanced scientific instruments.

Recently, the University of California (UC), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) convened researchers and leaders from across the UC system in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the first annual AI Science at Scale summit. The summit was planned in recognition of AI’s growing role in scientific discovery and the Department of Energy’s increasing interest in frontier AI, which subsequently formalized in the Genesis mission. Backed by a $19 million investment from fee income UC earned from managing its DOE national labs, the AI Science at Scale initiative awarded grants to UC and UC-affiliated national laboratory researchers at LLNL and LANL, reinvesting in the DOE scientific enterprise. From a competitive pool of researchers from across the UC system, four multi-campus teams were selected in April 2025, supporting research in AI-driven genomics, quantum materials discovery, geothermal energy, and integrated data platforms.
