Paclitaxel (Taxol) is a small molecule drug belonging to the taxane family. It is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutics, used for treatment of many cancers, as a monotherapy or in combination with other drugs to treat breast, lung and ovarian cancer as well as Kaposi’s sarcoma. Taxol is on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) List...

Fluid mechanics is the study of how fluids (e.g., air, water) move and the forces on them. Scientists and engineers have developed mathematical equations to model the motions of fluid and inertial particles. However, these equations are often computationally expensive, meaning they take a long time for the computer to...

2018
Large publicly available environmental databases are a tremendous resource for both scientists and the general public interested in climate trends and properties. However, without the programming skills to parse and interpret these massive datasets, significant trends may remain hidden from both scientists and the public. In this data exploration, students,...

Most phenomena that data scientists seek to analyze are either spatially or temporally correlated. Examples of spatial and temporal correlation include political elections, contaminant transfer, disease spread, housing market, and the weather. A question of interest is how to incorporate the spatial correlation information into modeling such phenomena. In this...

2023
A team of students led by an interdisciplinary group of faculty at the intersection of policy, economics, and computer science used statistical and machine learning methods to assess and map the discourse of speeches (1919-2022) by applied economists on food and agricultural policy. Understanding the historical underpinnings of these policies...

In this two-day, virtual data expedition project, students were introduced to the APIM in the context of stress proliferation, linked lives, the spousal relationship, and mental and physical health outcomes. Stress proliferation is a concept within the stress process paradigm that explains how one person’s stressors can influence others (Thoits...
