Incorporating living conditions and job opportunities in cities into mathematical models of human mobility improves their accuracy, according to a study that predicts migration patterns in South Sudan and commuting fluxes in the United States. Read more: ow.ly/VEir50Y4uaW

On 9/5, #NYUTandon stepped up to the plate at @BKCyclones #STEMnight ⚾ 💜 #NYUTandonMade @dynamicalsyste2 @nyu_cusp @porfirimaurizio @nyupolyk12stem

#NYUTandon's @DynamicalSyste2 , led by institute prof & director of @NYU_CUSP @PorfiriMaurizio , @NYUPolyK12STEM led by director Ben Esner and undergrad admissions hit it out of the park when showcasing their work to attendees at the @bkcyclones game. #NYUTandonMade

@jrrizzo00 's intends to concentrate on creating new opportunities & new pathways to explore concepts of #infrastructureminimalism & #universaldesign to address #accessibility at every #subwaystation. #NYUTandonMade @MTA bit.ly/3Jpt0Oi

#Tandon institute prof & director of @NYU_CUSP @PorfiriMaurizio published study in @PNASNews finding that fame-seeking mass shooters planned their crimes around the novelty of the location & targets #NYUTandonMade @mentaldaily_com bit.ly/3MU8Qgh

Since then, @PorfiriMaurizio & his team @DynamicalSyste2 have analyzed firearm ecosystem data while building new data models to support analysis, diagnostics & predictions of firearm-related harms that may inform reasonable gun policies. #NYUTandonMade bit.ly/3C7aBS6

#Gunviolence—from mass shooting events to suicides—has left a terrible mark on much of this country. This #publichealthcrisis has also been critically understudied, thanks to limitations regarding research into #gunownership using federal funds. #NYUTandon bit.ly/3XiBahe

On April 16, 2007, about a year after he moved to #NYC to start his career as an engineering professor at NYU #Tandon, @NYU_CUSP Director @PorfiriMaurizio received the news that there had been a mass shooting at his alma mater, @virginia_tech #engineering science & mechanics building. 32 people were killed in that attack, one of the worst mass-shooting events in #Americanhistory. Several of the victims were colleagues and classmates of Porfiri’s, and he continually wondered if there was a way to apply his #engineering skills to prevent a similar tragedy. Thirteen years later, Porfiri became the first researcher to receive a $2 million federal grant from the @NSF earmarked specifically for #gunrelatedresearch to study #massshootings. Already, his team’s research has helped uncover surprising motivations behind #gunpurchases & mass shootings, revealed patterns in #statetostategunownership & led to new models for predicting gun homicides. #NYUTandonMade getdrip.com/broadcasts/32995…

Now, #Tandon institute prof & @nyu_cusp director @PorfiriMaurizio is one of the first researchers to study the underlying causes of #gunviolence— from his perspective as a #datascientist. #NYUTandonMade bit.ly/3XiBahe

From 1996 to 2020, the #dickeyamendement effectively shut down #gunviolenceresearch in the U.S. This moratorium prevented a #datadriven understanding of the #US #firearmecosystem that could lead to evidence-based #policies. #NYUTandonMade bit.ly/3C7aBS6

In 2020 the federal budget included $25M for @CDCgov & @NIH to research reducing gun-related deaths. #Tandon researcher & @nyu_cusp director @PorfiriMaurizio was the 1st recipient of an @NSF grant for gun-related research. #NYUTandonMade bit.ly/3C7aBS6

Take a look at @PorfiriMaurizio's latest gun violence research — from new insights about fame-seeking mass shooters to a new statistical model to accurately predict monthly U.S. gun homicides. #NYUTandonMade bit.ly/3C7aBS6

#Today is #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay Revisit our panel #Engineering #SaferCities w/ #Tandon profs @PorfiriMaurizio ( @NYU_CUSP) & Oded Nov, @UCLA prof James Macinko, @GeorgiaStateU prof Igor Belykh & @Northeastern prof Rifat Sipahi #NYUTandonMade bit.ly/3LEAHjC

Today is #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay The panelists examined how #engineers can join the vital national discussion on gun violence & the conversation was moderated by NYU Tandon Undergraduate Student Council leaders. #NYUTandonMade bit.ly/3LEAHjC

#Tandon institute prof & director of @NYU_CUSP @PorfiriMaurizio & Phd candidate Rayan Succar join @RadioNational to discuss their newest #research on fame seeking mass shooters & the #American #Firearmsecosytem #NYUTandonMade ab.co/45Qywmv

Today, @bsgallagher has one question for Maurizio Porfiri & Rayan Succar. Porfiri directs NYU's Dynamical Systems Lab & Center for Urban Science. Succar is a grad student studying complex systems & network science. Click for this and more from Nautilus. bit.ly/45ijA0v
