Philosophy Chair Nicholas Evans and Criminology Assoc. Prof. Neil Shortland are researching the future of artificial intelligence in warfare and policy under a pair of Department of Defense Minerva Grants worth $4.2 million, leading teams that include paid student researchers and other UML and outside faculty.

Assoc. Prof. Neil Shortland and a pair of graduate students will research how exposure to misinformation online can lead people toward extreme behavior.

Three criminology professors have a federal grant to study police who join far-right extremist groups that engage in domestic terrorism, while one has another grant to study former and active-duty military personnel in such groups.

Students gain professional experience and expert education through UMass Lowell’s close partnership with The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars.

A pair of federal grants totaling over $2 million will examine right-wing terror and the ethics of testing soldiers with artificial intelligence.

Prof. Arie Perliger's vast database and years of study come together in "American Zealots."

Asst. Prof. Neil Shortland has won a $420,000 National Science Foundation CAREER grant to study how police, firefighters, doctors and others make critical decisions in emergencies – and whether they can learn to make better ones.
