The day-long event will feature talks from seven field scholars, including this year’s recipient of the Distinguished Alumni award, Karen Bandeen-Roche, chair of the Department of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Researchers from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Institute for Computational Sustainability are using big data and AI to model hidden patterns in nature – not just for one bird species, but for entire ecological communities across continents.
Incorporating sustainability into their field, Cornell information science researchers Ilan Mandel and Wendy Ju introduce “garbatrage,” a framework for prototype builders centered around repurposing underused devices.
