NUST Announces Workshop on Agentic AI for Research Software — 18 November 2026
The National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), through its School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS), is organising a practical workshop focused on the use of Agentic Artificial Intelligence in research software development. Titled “Agentic AI for Research Software: Briefing and Verifying LLM Coding Agents,” the workshop is scheduled for 18 November 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM.
The workshop will explore how AI-powered coding agents and Large Language Models (LLMs) can assist researchers and software developers in writing and developing research software. It will also address an important aspect of AI-assisted programming: the need to carefully examine, test and verify code generated by AI tools before using it in real projects.
As AI coding agents become increasingly capable of handling programming tasks, understanding their limitations and verifying their outputs is essential. AI-generated code may contain errors, security weaknesses or incorrect assumptions, making human review and validation an important part of responsible software development. The session aims to introduce participants to these practical considerations in the context of research software.

What Will the Workshop Cover?
The workshop focuses on two important aspects of AI-assisted research software development:
1. Using Agentic AI for Software Development
Participants will explore how AI coding agents can assist with programming and research software development. These tools can support developers in generating code and handling different software-related tasks.
2. Briefing and Verifying LLM Coding Agents
The workshop will also highlight why AI-generated code must be checked and verified. Understanding the limitations of LLM coding agents, reviewing their outputs and ensuring that generated code works correctly are important considerations when using AI in research and software engineering.
