Meet Our Partners
Thank you to all the clubs, organizations, and donors that make this lab possible.
Oregon Blockchain Group
The Oregon Blockchain Group (OBG) is a student-led organization dedicated to blockchain education, research, and real-world applications. As a contributing partner of IF Lab, OBG focuses on bridging blockchain with artificial intelligence, governance, and business innovation.
OBG’s research covers smart contracts, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), cryptographic security, and token economies, helping students explore how blockchain can revolutionize industries such as finance, sustainability, and enterprise automation. By collaborating with the IF Lab, OBG provides students with opportunities to prototype decentralized systems, test emerging Web3 applications, and engage in discussions on the future of blockchain governance.
Artificial Intelligence Student Association
The Artificial Intelligence Student Association (AISA) is the University of Oregon’s hub for AI research, innovation, and hands-on experimentation. As a key partner of the IF Lab, AISA leads projects that apply artificial intelligence to solve real-world challenges. From AI-powered research assistants to prompt engineering workshops and AI-driven governance models, AISA is committed to making AI more accessible, ethical, and practical.
Through speaker panels, industry collaborations, and student-led projects, AISA equips members with the knowledge and technical experience necessary to thrive in the AI landscape. By working closely with IF Lab, AISA contributes to cutting-edge research while fostering a community of AI enthusiasts, builders, and thought leaders.
QuackHacks
QuackHacks is the University of Oregon’s flagship hackathon, bringing together students for 24 hours of coding, collaboration, and innovation. As a core partner of IF Lab, QuackHacks provides a platform for students to test new ideas, build AI-powered applications, and push creative boundaries in software development.
From AI-driven tools to blockchain-integrated applications, QuackHacks fosters a fast-paced environment where students prototype and launch new projects while networking with like-minded peers. Many IF Lab research projects begin as hackathon concepts, making QuackHacks an essential pillar in our ecosystem.
