"I'm grateful to Sally and Bill Neukom for making the Wright Center and professorship possible," Brison says. "And I'm deeply honored to hold a professorship named after two people so many of us love and admire, Jim and Susan Wright."
Neukom Fellows are interdisciplinary positions for recent PhDs whose research interests or practice cuts across traditional disciplinary boundaries, and has some computational component, whether it be a framing concept for intellectual exploration or an explicit part of the work that is pursued.
On December 1, the Neukom Institute is co-sponsoring the New England Computer Vision Workshop (NECV). This workshop will bring together researchers in computer vision and related areas for an informal exchange of ideas through a full day of presentations and posters. NECV attracts researchers from universities and industry research labs in New England. As in previous years, the workshop will focus on graduate student presentations.
CompX supports computational research across the campus and professional schools. This program seeks to fund both the development of novel computational techniques as well as the application of computational methods to problems in the Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities, and the Arts. Deadline for applications: February 16, 2024.
(CNN)Researchers in a new study have put actual dollar figures on economic harm caused by the countries most responsible for the climate crisis, and the ground-breaking data could serve as a starting point for legal action against the world's wealthiest nations.

"Using data from the transition to the Late Formative period (ca. 400–300 BC), I argue that direct evidence of urban planning is present in the monumental constructions of Yaxuná in Yucatán, Mexico."
Director Rockmore stated, "I am delighted to be able to announce next year's class of Neukom Postdoctoral Fellows, recruited out of a pool of 116 applicants. Their interest's range across the intersections of computation with literature, climate and food, and the epigenetics of violence."
Laura states that, "...we will examine the role history, culture and language play in how computational practices are understood and deployed..."
