Constance Crozier
The assistant professor in industrial engineering brings a math and computer science-rooted background to fundamental challenges as the world moves away from fossil fuels.
Constance Crozier fell into her field of research almost by chance.
Having loved math for as long as she can remember, she could never get enough of it. In her early days of undergraduate engineering studies at Oxford, Crozier was so into the subject that she always picke...

Thought leadership piece for executive on how AI can augment software development.

At Globe Summit 2024, a panel of public health leaders explored the challenges of health inequities and shared strategies to address the alarming life expectancy gaps between Boston’s neighborhoods.
When Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, MD, MPH, executive director of the Boston Public Health Commission, called for an updated report about life expectancy in Boston, she found not much had changed in a decade. Today, the difference in life expectancy between a small census tract in Roxbury and an equivalent ...

Bozeman, an assistant professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Tech, spearheads the Social Equity and Environmental Engineering lab, whose hallmark is an interdisciplinary approach to research.

Good data builds a strong AI foundation. It should be complete, accurate, relevant, consistent, and readily available. You cannot afford missing metadata, duplicates, or other issues that undermine quality.

Here are a few ways AI can help boost data quality.

Layering AI onto existing operations might boost short-term efficiencies. However, a piecemeal application of the technology delivers incremental gains.
What if, instead of lopping off inefficiencies at the edges, CFOs could completely redesign finance operations from the ground up, with AI at the core and boost gains on new levels that go beyond productivity? Such a tantalizing possibility is well within reach with an AI-first approach to finance. Consider the example of the financial close ...

An "Ask the Expert" series about electric utilities and asset management.

Before we understand how remote control of robots can help automation, it helps to recognize that there is some confusion about what the term actually means. To most, “remote control” means troubleshooting from a distance. To a smaller but significant subset, the term implies teleoperation, controlling the movement of a robot, especially one working in hazardous conditions, from a distance. The two use cases occasionally overlap.

Tips for Surviving Ransomware Attack for Cybesecurity Awareness Month

The nuclear community has always been a leader in probabilistic risk analysis and Smith’s work in risk-related research had made him an established expert in the field. When NASA came knocking, Smith had been working for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). He pivoted quickly. For the next decade, Smith worked with NASA’s Office of Safety and Mission Assurance supporting their increased use of risk analysis.

Automation and AI can help banks and fintechs transform the dispute resolution process and customer experience
With ecommerce and digital transactions becoming mainstream, credit and debit card fraud are on the rise. This has led to a surge in the volume of disputes for financial institutions (FIs) to investigate and process, in turn resulting in higher operational costs, higher losses, and longer dispute resolution times for the customer.
