Called to action by the Boston Marathon Bombing and increasing religious extremist terrorist attacks in North America and Europe, the scientists developed cutting edge technology at their headquarters in research centers in Boston and Virginia as well as at a Norwegian university. The team eventually traveled to refugee camps in Lesvos, Greece to understand and simulate connections between religious extremism and the refugee crisis. They used the powerful modeling and simulation methodology to develop policy recommendations for predicting and preventing religious radicalization and violence.<\/p>\n<h4>Date: Tuesday, November 19, 2024<\/h4>\n<h4>Location:<\/h4>\n<h4>The Faculty of Computing &amp; Data Sciences<\/h4>\n<h4>665 Commonwealth Ave., Room 1750, Boston, MA<\/h4>\n<h4>Event Schedule:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>4-5 PM: Reception<\/li>\n<li>5-6 PM: Premiere\u00a0(Live stream available)<\/li>\n<li>6-7 PM: Panel Discussion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">North American Film Premiere<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Discover how a cutting-edge, data-focused academic approach is being used to address some of the world\u2019s most pressing humanitarian crises.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Moderator and Panelist Preview<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/cds-faculty\/files\/2021\/02\/WesleyWildman-600x600-1.jpg\" alt=\"Headshot of Wesley Wildman\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"wp-image-832 alignleft\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/files\/2021\/02\/WesleyWildman-600x600-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/files\/2021\/02\/WesleyWildman-600x600-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/files\/2021\/02\/WesleyWildman-600x600-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/files\/2021\/02\/WesleyWildman-600x600-1-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/files\/2021\/02\/WesleyWildman-600x600-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/profile\/wesley-wildman\/\">Wesley J.
