Lugowski, Deweese, and Gilbert win prize in the YarcData Graph Analytics Challenge

PhD students Adam Lugowski and Kevin Deweese and Professor John Gilbert, from the department’s Combinatorial Scientific Computing Lab, were awarded a second place prize of $13,000 in the YarcData Graph Analytics Challenge, which showcased the increasing use of graph analytics to discover unknown relationships in Big Data. Their entry was based on work investigating the causes of autism by understanding clusters of precursors.

Congratulations to Adam, Kevin, and John!
