September 2, 2014: Dr. Ming-Hsiang Tsou (Director) received the NSF-IBSS Award.September 2, 2014: Dr. Ming-Hsiang Tsou (Director) received the NSF-IBSS (Interdisciplinary Behavioral and Social Science Research) Award. The project entitled: "IBSS: Spatiotemporal Modeling of Human Dynamics Across Social Media and Social Networks."(http://socialmedia.sdsu.edu/) This is a four-year award (2014-2018) for $999,887. One key contribution of this project is to build a prototype for the San Diego Office of Emergency Services (OES) social media outreach platform, which may be applicable for other U.S. cities in the future. The design of the prototype is to facilitate rapid dissemination of official alerts and warnings notifications from OES during disaster events via multiple social media channels to targeted population (typically in certain area). The platform can identify and recruit top 1000 social media volunteers based on their social network influence factors and help government agencies communicate more effectively to the public and be better prepared for both natural disasters and human-made crises. New Center for Human Dynamics in the Mobile Age (HDMA)On May 07, 2014, the Academic Deans Council at San Diego State University approved the proposal of the new Center for Human Dynamics in the Mobile Age (HDMA). The Human Dynamics center has become an official academic unit at the College of Arts and Letter, SDSU. |
