Modeling changes in brain activity over time provides deeper insights into learning and behavioral responses.
An international team of scientists, including KAUST high performance computing experts and astronomers from the Paris Observatory and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), in collaboration with NVIDIA, is taking the search for habitable planets and observation of first epoch galaxies to the next level.
Michał Mańkowski, a Ph.D. student in the University's Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Science and Engineering (CEMSE) division, won the Poster of Distinction Award at the American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS) 18th Annual State of the Art Winter Symposium. The event, which was held in Miami Beach, Florida, U.S., from January 11 to 14, also voted Mańkowski's soapbox presentation as the symposium's best solution on how more lives can be saved through transplantation. Mańkowski presented on behalf of Professor Sommer Gentry, his supervisor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Samuel Horváth, a master's degree student in the University's statistics and optimization M.S./Ph.D. program, recently won a best poster award at the second edition of the Data Science Summer School (DS3).
For the past 10 years, KAUST has made a strong presence at the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC) that takes place in different cities around the U.S. every year.
A more efficient approach to modeling spatial data involving thousands of variables keeps computation time in check.
A tool developed by Håvard Rue has transformed data analysis, interpretation and communication. It has been applied broadly: from modeling the spread of infectious diseases to mapping fish stocks.
Researchers at the Extreme Computing Research Center (ECRC) at KAUST have developed a new algorithm that uses supervised machine learning to control a small high-speed deformable mirror inside the exoplanet imaging camera to compensate for atmospheric turbulence in the Subaru Telescope, which has an 8.2 meter diameter.
Volcanic eruptions in Mexico and the Philippines can lead to atmospheric changes that favor the ventilation of deep water in the Red Sea.
A new book - "Extensions of Dynamic Programming for Combinatorial Optimization and Data Mining" by Hassan AbouEisha, Talha Amin, Igor Chikalov, Shahid Hussain, and Mikhail Moshkov - was recently published by Springer.
Investigations of prey patterns fail to explain why whale sharks aggregate off the coast of Saudi Arabia.
Women in Data Science (WiDS) is like the Global Women's March for analytics; it's a phenomenon too big for just one city. WiDS is the largest data science conference on Earth—taking place in over 50 countries, it has attained more than 100,000 attendees and is tagged as a global movement.
The annual conference aims to inspire and educate data scientists worldwide—regardless of gender—and support women in the field. This year's WiDS conference was held at Stanford University with more than 100 regional institutions all over the world participating, including KAUST.
Innovative drone designs and software enables a team of drones to work together in a coordinated approach.
A new patent, "Methylation biomarkers for prostate cancer" (USPTO Patent No. 9976187), filed by Professor Vladimir Bajic, Senior Bioinformatician Roberto Incitti and former Bioscience Core Lab Research Scientist Hicham Mansour was granted on May 22, 2018.
