NRI Anuradha and NRI Vikas Sinha have made a landmark $20 million gift to the University of North Texas (UNT) to accelerate education and research in artificial intelligence and advanced analytics.
In recognition of their contribution, UNT will establish the Anuradha and Vikas Sinha College of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Analytics, creating a major academic and research hub focused on artificial intelligence, intelligent systems and data analytics.
The donation will establish six permanent endowments supporting college leadership, student scholarships, endowed professorships, entrepreneurship and incubation, advanced research, and emerging technologies. The college will bring together expertise in AI, cybersecurity, data science, advanced analytics, health informatics, information science and learning technologies.
Vikas Sinha earned his Ph.D. in information science with a concentration in data science from UNT in 2023 and currently serves as a vice president at Broadcom. He and Anuradha originally came to the United States from India after earning bachelor's degrees in civil engineering from Sri Venkateswara University.
The couple has previously supported UNT's data science initiatives, including the Anuradha and Vikas Sinha Department of Data Science and the Sinha Data Science Innovation Lab. Their latest contribution represents a significant expansion of that commitment.
The new college is expected to provide students and faculty with expanded opportunities for research, innovation, entrepreneurship and industry collaboration while preparing graduates for a workforce increasingly shaped by AI and data-driven technologies.
