SPRING 2013 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE James Galagan (Biomedical Engineering and Microbiology, College of Engineering) The goal of this project was to develop predictive models of the complete regulatory and metabolic networks of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The aim is to use these models to computationally study the molecular programs that enable MTB to cause human disease in […]
SPRING 2012 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Benjamin Lubin (Information Systems, Quaestorum School of Business) and Keith Marzilli Ericson (Markets, Public Policy, and Law, Quaestorum School of Business) The operation of the health care system in the United States is extraordinarily complex, with many interactions among patients, doctors, insurers, governments, and other parties. This complexity also generates an extraordinary […]
SPRING 2012 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Evimaria Terzi (Computer Science, College of Arts and Sciences) and Nachiketa Sahoo (Information Systems, Questrom School of Business) In many settings, individuals form teams and work together in order to complete a project. For example, within companies groups of employees perform tasks collectively in groups. Similarly, scientists merged their skills […]
SPRING 2013 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE Andrea Berlin (Archaeology, College of Arts and Sciences) In the field of archaeology we are drowning in data, and that creates an unusual problem. In most fields, more data is a good thing. In theory that’s true for archaeology as well. In practice, however, keeping up with ever-increasing amounts of […]
SPRING 2013 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Sharon Goldberg, Ran Canetti, Leonid Reyzin (Computer Science, College of Arts and Sciences) The Privacy Year, funded by HIC, RISCS, Penn State, and Harvard’s CRCS, brought three top data privacy researchers, Kobbi Nissim, Sofya Raskhodnikova, and Adam Smith, to BU for AY 2013-14. The main focus was research about data […]
SPRING 2012 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE John Byers (Computer Science, College of Arts and Sciences) This work studied the interplay between consumers and an emerging class of firms that generate economic value in whole or in part by enabling users to share their experiences through comments, reviews and online feedback, notably Yelp, Twitter, TripAdvisor and Airbnb.
