Keynote Lecture: Solving Wicked Problems with Science

文摘: Science is changing rapidly and new transdisciplinary approaches are resulting in transformative change across domains. 复杂的问题, 比如在医疗保健领域, have begun to be addressed with convergent approaches that involve expertise from a range of diverse disciplines.  This has resulted in new methods and findings that could not have happened a decade earlier. 计算, 信息科学, 信息学, and engineering are especially poised to contribute to these changes by bringing sophisticated techniques to partnerships in the biomedical and bio-behavioral realms. This talk will cover some current advances and a vision for a smarter community, using the area of health and medicine as an example.

This President’s forum is a featured event in the Albert Dorman Honors College Colloquium Series and is made possible in part by the generous support of the DeCaprio Family.
