The Applied Intelligence Lab
Studying and building intelligence in three forms.
Human, artificial, and institutional. Directed by Dr. Rohan Thompson, Dean of the School of Business and Technology at Huston-Tillotson University, Austin, Texas.
The lab's research looks at how people perceive, regulate, and adapt intelligence across cultures and organizations. Its engineering turns that understanding into production AI platforms, and both get applied to the daily work of running an accredited business and technology school. Peer-reviewed studies, deployed systems, and an open door for students who want to build alongside us.

Dean, School of Business and Technology, Huston-Tillotson University
Dr. Rohan Thompson leads three accredited programs in business, computer science, and mechanical engineering at Huston-Tillotson University, Austin's oldest institution of higher education and a historically Black university. In parallel, he designs and builds production AI platforms, nine so far, all of them personally. His research and building sit where academic leadership and applied artificial intelligence meet.
