CCT Staff Showcase LONI, other developments at Post-Katrina Forum
Staff from the LSU Center for Computation & Technology, along with members of the LONI Management Council, attended a Post-Katrina forum, "Gulf States Alliance: Network Science and Recovery," at the Beau Rivage Hotel in Biloxi Aug. 19-21.
This forum was sponsored by the National Science Foundation's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) branches in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
The forum focused on how residents of the Gulf States can use technological advances not only to boost economic development in the region, but to be able to better predict hurricanes, saving more lives.
