This event is co-hosted by the student organization, Carolina Analytics & Data Science, the UNC Computer Science Department, the Odum Institute, and the National Consortium for Data Science. Participants will have the opportunitiy to hack on a dataset from either the financial, technology or non-profit sector. At the end of the event, sponsors will present awards based on presentation…
Find out more »Coastal emergency managers use storm surge model forecasts as a critical tool for planning and decision making during storm events. These models must be both accurate and fast to provide reliable information in a timely manner as a storm moves toward the coast. Casey Dietrich, assistant professor in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, will discuss the development of an enhanced storm surge modeling process that incorporates high-resolution datasets and visualization techniques to produce more accurate storm surge…

In this talk, a cutting-edge tool is presented, itk-jupyter-widgets, to interactively explore your data and the behavior of your algorithms. By leveraging the high-performance rendering capabilities of modern web browsers, cross-platform 3D visualization, without software installation, is possible. Novel techniques will be described that enable interactive visualization of remotely hosted big data. Presenter Bio: Matthew McCormick, PhD, is a research software engineer who helps scientists perform computational image…

This workshop is organized jointly by SAMSI, RAA, RENCI, and WFU-CEES, with additional support from the NSF, SOA and CAS. To apply for registration, go to http://cees.wfu.edu/nexus/. Some funding is available to students and early career researchers. For all questions, please…
Find out more »Jupyter Day in the Triangle is a single-day conference for Jupyter users in the Southeast. The event takes place at The Carolina Club to showcase applications of the open source software created by Project Jupyter and community. These interactive technologies are reshaping how people interact with code and data in industry and academia. Jupyter in the Triangle is a chance for Jupyter users of all experience levels to share and learn about the state-of-the-art in open source scientific computing. We expect an exciting…
Find out more »There are as many potential drug-like chemicals as stars in the whole universe. Synthesizing and testing all those compounds experimentally is impossible. Denis Fourches, assistant professor of Chemistry in NC State’s College of Sciences, will discuss the rise of cheminformatics and artificial intelligence to model, visualize, and virtually screen those chemicals for various applications in drug discovery, chemical risk assessment, and green chemistry.
