Polymorphic Games
The University of Idaho's own evolutionary video game studio. Instead of pre-programming, scripted enemy behaviors to escalate difficulty, Polymorphic Games uses populations of creatures that evolve - and specifically evolve to beat your strategy. Learn More
TickBase.net
Tick-borne diseases account for a staggering 94% of human illnesses due to vector-borne diseases in the U.S. The mission of the TickBase project is to assimilate disparate datasets with spatio-temporal, environmental and human predictors and to leverage cyberinfrastructure and data science to enhance forecasting of Tick-borne diseases in the western U.S. Learn More
PrinTimber
Nonrenewable resources underpin our country’s critical infrastructure and as a result, many of our renewable resources are underutilized or wasted. The current housing economy operates on a model that damages the environment rather than a circular one that coexists with it. The PrinTimber project team at the University of Idaho and Auburn University are creating a foundational framework to utilize renewable and waste feedstocks to make and utilize 100% bio-based materials for the Advanced Housing Manufacturing Industry of the Future.
