"Mu Yao" Intelligent Design Platform for Aircraft

Description

Inspired by the ancient Chinese wooden kite, this project applies AI to aerodynamic shape design in aerospace to break traditional design constraints, improve design efficiency, and enable new innovation possibilities. By combining deep learning with aerodynamic optimization, it develops a compact (dimension-reduced) representation of complex 3D shapes, extracts key geometric features from cross-sectional images, and enables flexible control and redesign of any aircraft segment—shortening iteration cycles and overcoming limits of conventional modeling methods.

Alpha DaRT is a novel radiation technology that can treat recurrent, metastatic, and locally advanced cancers. What makes this new therapy unique among radiation therapies is that, for the first time, it employs alpha particles for treatment of solid tumors. Alpha DaRT treatment consists of intratumorally-inserted radionuclides that emit alpha particles which kill tumor cells, sparing healthy cells nearby. In comparison to existing radiation therapies, it is highly effective, safe, and tolerable for patients. Alpha DaRT can potentially fill a huge unmet need for treatment of advanced cancers that are resistant or have become refractory to prior conventional therapies such as X-rays and chemotherapy, and when surgery is not an option.

Innovative Applications of AI and Machine Learning in Electronic Assembly Material Development

Description

Materials development often relies on expert experience, which can’t keep up with fast product iterations. This project partnered with suppliers and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to pilot AI/ML-assisted formulation development for thermally adhesive electronic materials. By building an experimental-data-driven material database and using ML recommendation plus Bayesian-optimized experiment design, the project reduced R&D effort by 40% and improved powder formulation cost benefits by 33.5%. Huawei also deployed the AI-enabled digital R&D solution to 60+ material suppliers, published related research, and co-drafted an industry group standard—helping shift electronic materials R&D from experience-based to prediction-driven.
