Good morning, everyone!

iCORE will be hosting a talk by Dr. Chris Bird, this Thursday (3/5) at 4:00 PM. Join us in NRC 2100 or on Teams!

Title: Agentic AI

Topic: Dr. Bird will give an overview of his experience using agentic AI with OpenCode.ai and Codex CLI: two autonomous coding agents that can be run locally from the user's terminal to read, write, and execute code. These agents function similarly to skilled contractors, allowing anyone to manage complex workflows and programming tasks. This talk will provide an insightful look into the future of research using agentic AI.

Presenter Bio: Dr. Christopher Bird is an Associate Professor of Biology at the College of Science - Department of Life Sciences. His research is focused on molecular ecology, evolution and conservation biology. He also directs the Genomics Core Laboratory, which is focused on supporting researchers in population genomics, environmental DNA, genome sequencing and assembly.

iCORE Workshops are bi-weekly starting at 4:00pm. They follow iCORE update meetings (3:30PM). All are welcome to both or either meeting.
