Boston University, SharkNinja to partner on AI & Analytics Lab

New England Council member, Boston University, is partnering with SharkNinja to launch the SharkNinja AI & Analytics Lab, a collaboration to merge academic insight with real-world business challenges for BU graduate students.  

The lab will be housed within Questroom’s Consulting Lab, where graduate students will work under faculty to design AI-driven solutions. Students will operate as a consulting team, using data modeling techniques to support both hands-on product innovation and internal operations.  

“We are here to help pore through large data sets to find those pockets of opportunity,” said Peter Howard, Executive Director of Action Learning and the Questroom Consulting Lab. “We’ll take on any type of challenge.” This initiative will give students the chance to apply their technical skills to high-impact projects while gaining direct decision-making experience.  

The New England Council congratulates Boston University on this exciting collaboration and for its commitment to academic partnerships and new opportunities.
