A new public-private consortium aimed at advancing data science brings together data and genomics researchers to discuss the data challenges in genomics. This white paper summarizes their discussions.
Researchers at RENCI and North Carolina State University took home an award at the recent US Ignite Application Summit for demonstrating a prototype next-generation Internet application that monitors large power systems over a wide-area, high-performance communication network.
A new collaboration called the National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS) aims to make North Carolina a national hub for data-intensive business and data science research and education, a move that will help develop a national strategy to ensure U.S. leadership in the data-driven global economy. The consortium, launched at RENCI, the Renaissance Computing Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, unites data researchers in academia with data creators and users in business and government.
A team of researchers at Duke University Medical Center wants to automate and optimize the process of developing IMRT treatment plans. They’ve developed a tool that draws on prior clinically approved treatment plans to create new plans and are working with RENCI to improve the tool.
A grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) will enable RENCI (Renaissance Computing Institute at UNC Chapel Hill) and Duke University to develop a system that aggregates and visualizes historical medical data so doctors can use it to help them make the best possible treatment decisions for their patients.
RENCI, the NC TraCS Institute and the University of North Carolina School of Medicine are engaged in a multidisciplinary effort to create a secure, controlled, online environments where researchers can use sensitive medical data
The Coastal Wave Energy Research Project, funded by the North Carolina General Assembly, investigates the potential of wave power to generate electricity in North Carolina. The research team, led by Billy Edge, a professor of civil engineering at North Carolina State University and a researcher at CSI, involves partners from the engineering colleges at NC State, North Carolina A & T University and UNC Charlotte as well as RENCI, the Renaissance Computing Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Scientists at RENCI and UNC Chapel Hill use the latest modeling techniques and high performance computing power to understand how expected increases in sea level over the next 100 years could affect coastal communities, wildlife and the coastline itself.
Technology entrepreneurs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are encouraged to apply for a spot in the Carolina Launch Pad, the pre-commercial technology business accelerator located at RENCI (Renaissance Computing Institute).
The founders of Altometrics, Inc., in Durham, NC, recently received a $150,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation. The award comes with $30,000 in matching funds from the North Carolina Office of Science and Technology. The company is a recent graduate of the Carolina Launch Pad program at RENCI in Chapel Hill.
Through a project called Weather for Emergency Management, or WxEM, RENCI and its partners are developing visual presentations of weather data that are easy to understand and combine information about current weather conditions, weather forecasts and road conditions. The goal is to give school officials a tool that will allow them to make school closing decisions using the best, most relevant and up-to-date information available.
A new project funded by the National Science Foundation links researchers at leading U.S. universities to study the mathematical problems related to climate change research.
A project involving RENCI and researchers in the UNC School of Medicine and the departments of computer science and statistics and operations research aims to improve melanoma classification using image analysis techniques.
As Hurricane Earl strengthens and heads closer to North Carolina’s coast, RENCI researchers are tracking its every move with a Weather Research Forecast (WRF) model that plots the storm’s course on a grid, with each point in the grid representing a 3 kilometer by 3 kilometer box.
Treating and caring for an infant born with a life threatening condition involves parents, doctors, nurses and social workers caught up in a web of complex decision making, usually made in tight timeframes and under incredible stress.
NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) Office of Science and Technology will provide $400,000 to the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) to develop and evaluate technologies that will help the emergency management community prepare for and respond to weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards and floods.
RENCI experts in informatics and computational performance will work with Cambridge Intelligent Systems (CIS) to improve biometric systems used to track and identify suspected terrorists as they enter and leave the U.S.
