Helping to crack complex scientific puzzles
The aim of Hongfeng Yu’s five-year, $476,952 Faculty Early Career Development Program award from the National Science Foundation is to create software tools that will expand network visualization capabilities. This enhanced ability to uncover patterns could have wide-ranging applications, from better understanding gene regulation networks and biochemical pathways to improving supercomputing speeds and investigating large social networks. Yu is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
