Know what’s good for your health? Artificial intelligence
A generation ago, the internet changed everything. Today, data science is proving just as revolutionary. Fueled by the abundance of personal information on the internet—yours, ours, everyone’s—data science is making business smarter, healthcare more efficient, technology easier, and sports more fun to watch (and play).
What If We Could Stop Lung Cancer Before It Starts?
BU and Johnson & Johnson Innovation alliance discovers why an immune system boost could prevent lung cancer By Sara Rimer in BU Today Genomic differences related to the immune system may play a key role in the early development of lung cancer. That finding, published April 23, 2019, in Nature Communications, reveals potential for developing […]
How to Make Self-Driving Vehicles Smarter, Bolder
Autonomous vehicles that can maneuver themselves around any city are already out on our public roads, says Yannis Paschalidis, but operating off-road remains a challenge. Paschalidis is testing a new self-driving vehicle with the goal of correcting that problem. These vehicles can operate on and off-road. “We are interested in developing fundamental principles that can be applied to autonomous vehicles capable of navigating themselves on the ground, underwater, and in the air,” he says.

State Representative Tackling Societal Challenges
Massachusetts State Representative Vitolo earned Bachelor’s Degrees of Science in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, and Economics. His aptitude for solving mathematical applications and drive to address community problems led him towards operation research. At Boston University, he connected the dots. In 2011, he graduated from BU with a Ph.D. degree in Systems Engineering and the know-how to make a difference in the world.
Highway US-33 – Honda and Cassandras Team Up
Self-driving smart cars used to be something that was seen in the movies; an idea that was too far away to even consider a possible reality. Yet, today we are closer to realizing this dream than ever. Most smart cars on the market come equipped with detectors to alert the driver another vehicle is in […]
