International interest in Purdue AI research takes root at 2025 Venice Biennale
An artificial intelligence system developed by Jae Joong Lee, a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science, has been selected for exhibition at the 2025 Venice Biennale of Architecture, one of the world’s most prestigious showcases for design, sustainability and innovation. The project, titled Tree-D Fusion, creates three-dimensional models of real trees using just a single photograph — transforming flat images into digital twins that reveal a tree’s past growth and predict its future development.
