dc.description	Mentewab Ayalew, PhD. Spoke Co-PI, Integrating Biological Big Data Research into Student Training and Education, is Vice Chair and Associate Professor in Biology at Spelman College. The project is a collaborative effort among the University of Tennessee Chattanooga, Tuskegee University, Spelman College, and West Virginia University to integrate biological big data into student training and education. Leveraging the team’s expertise in computer science and biological sciences, the project will offer training workshops on using network models to integrate heterogeneous genomic big data and heterogeneous ecological big data to address life sciences questions. The team will also engage faculty and students in developing a protocol to automate field data collection, will prototype methods to enhance plant digitization, leveraging the collection of digitized plant images and meta-information at the Southeast Regional Network of Expertise and Collections, as well as the ecological datasets in collaboration with the Encyclopedia of Life.	en_US
dc.description	Gari Clifford, PhD. Spoke PI, Large Scale Medical Informatics for Patient Care Coordination and Engagement, is Chair, Associate Professor, Biomedical Informatics at Emory University and Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech. This project brings together six universities to design and construct a patient-focused and personalized health system that addresses the fractured nature of healthcare information and the lack of engagement of individuals in their own healthcare. By taking advantage of the enormous amount of information generated by real-time, mobile and wearable devices and the availability of rich social media data on patient behavior, the team will create a comprehensive picture of patient health and a tool to help manage patients’ engagement with their healthcare providers. As its first pilot, the researchers will focus on African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos diagnosed with cardiovascular disease.	en_US
dc.description	Ashok K. Goel, PhD. Spoke PI, Using Big Data for Environmental Sustainability: Big Data + AI Technology = Accessible, Usable, Useful Knowledge, is a Professor of Computer Science and Cognitive Science in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech and the Director of the School’s Ph.D. Program in Human-Centered Computing. This project brings together scientists to translate big data into meaningful knowledge that supports research and education in environmental sustainability. The project will use AI methods and tools for modeling and simulation in conjunction with the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), the world’s largest database of biological species, and other biodiversity data sources.	en_US
dc.description	Santiago Grijalva, PhD. Spoke Co-PI, Smart Grids Big Data, is the Georgia Power Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Georgia Tech Advanced Computational Electricity Systems (ACES) Laboratory. Dr. Grijalva is a pioneer on decentralized power system control and energy internet, and a leading researcher on smart power systems and renewable energy integration. The introduction of new technologies for monitoring electrical power grids has led to an abundance of data that can be used to improve power generation and transmission and to enhance customer service. However, this data is still vastly underutilized. This project aims to increase our understanding of the merged data collected from physical systems in order to better understand how energy flows through grids, how to prevent emergencies such as blackouts and brownouts, and how to improve asset management and increase energy efficiency.	en_US
dc.description	Frank Muller-Karger, PhD. Spoke PI, Enhanced 3-D Mapping for Habitat, Biodiversity, and Flood Hazard Assessments of Coastal and Wetland Areas of the Southern US, is a biological oceanographer (Professor) at the College of Marine Science, University of South Florida. The vision of this project is that communities occupying low-lying coastal areas of the southern US will be protected and develop in a sustainable manner through planning based on knowledge, conservation, and wise use of sensitive lands. Researchers from the University of South Florida’s College of Marine Science and the School of Geosciences, Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi, and Google Earth Engine are collaborating with the South Big Data Hub through this project to develop more accurate, ultra-high resolution topographic, land cover, and urban environment geospatial products. The project examines in detail areas that were directly impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in 2017, and identifies flood-prone areas across the region.	en_US
dc.description	John Verdi, JD. Spoke Representative, Collaborative to Protect Privacy and Use Data Responsibly, is Vice President of Policy at the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF). FPF is a Washington, DC-based nonprofit organization that serves as a catalyst for privacy leadership and scholarship, advancing principled data practices in support of emerging technologies. FPF is supported by the chief privacy officers of more than 110 leading companies, several foundations, and an advisory board comprised of leading academics and advocates. John supervises FPF’s policy portfolio, which advances FPF’s agenda on a broad range of issues, including: Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning; Algorithmic Decision-Making; Ethics; Connected Cars; Smart Communities; Student Privacy; Health; the Internet of Things; Wearable Technologies; De-Identification; and Drones. John previously served as Director of Privacy Initiatives at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, where he crafted policy recommendations for the US Department of Commerce and President Obama regarding technology, trust, and innovation.	en_US
