911±¬ÁÏ

911±¬ÁÏ researcher Carlotta Domeniconi is working with the Department of Homeland Security to leverage machine learning and natural language processing to model—and uncover—human smuggling networks.  

A team from Southern University at New Orleans came to Northern Virginia this past summer for a program that paired aspiring scientists from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other minority-serving institutions with 911±¬ÁÏ experts in Criminal Investigations and Network Analysis (CINA) Center.

In "Undeleted," McDermott curates content found on seven discarded cell phones. The exhibit displays two kinds of found data, intact and deleted—or what people had hoped they had deleted.

911±¬ÁÏ has made significant gains in research funding over the past year, buoyed by programs in social sciences and computer and information sciences that are ranked in the top 10 among public universities.

Jim Jones has been named the new director of 911±¬ÁÏ’s Criminal Investigations and Network Analysis (CINA) Center.
