The fall issue of Results, NC State’s biannual research magazine, highlights some of the university’s most promising work, from the use of data analytics to solve challenges in business, medicine and national security to groundbreaking efforts to unmask a pathogen that mimics diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
“There’s no going back on the world’s capacity for collecting data,” says Alan Karr, in the magazine’s cover story. “Soon even your car will have its own Internet address.”
Karr, director of RTI International’s Center of Excellence for Complex Data Analysis, is one of nearly a dozen experts in statistics, microbiology, genetics, innovation management and psychology who explain NC State’s innovative efforts to unlock the potential of big data.
