# AI Agent Lab at Johns Hopkins University

A research lab co-directed by [[entity-harang-ju|Harang Ju]] at Johns Hopkins University. In the source it is a proof point for [[concept-agent-first-rewiring|agent-first rewiring]]: the lab converted scattered HR documents into unified markdown directories for agent search (an instance of [[action-convert-to-markdown]]) and rewired faculty-qualification tracking into structured data for automated credential checking.

(Enrichment note: the overlay associates the name with 'Agent Laboratory', a Johns Hopkins/AMD multi-agent research framework that reported ~84% cost reductions versus other autonomous research approaches — treat that as adjacent context, not necessarily the identical lab.)
