SUMMARY:Intelligent Informatics at Rutgers: Data Visualization with Python Jupyter Notebooks – A Hands-on Introduction
DESCRIPTION:The session consisted of brief presentations\, with around 100 minutes of interactive work-along demo of data visualization with Jupyter Notebooks\, and ended with Q&A. Participants learned to create data visualizations and can opt to either access Rutgers University’s high-performance computing (HPC) platform/cloud* or to run the code locally on their own computers. \n\nDr. Bala Desinghu\, Senior Scientist from OARC\, Rutgers University provided an interactive introduction to data visualization with insights on the use of high-performance computing.\nDr. Abhishek Tripathi\, Associate Professor\, School of Business\, TCNJ\, introduced the use of Python libraries such as Seaborn\, Plotly and Cufflinks for creating advanced and interactive data visualizations.\nDr. Jim Samuel\, Associate Professor\, Rutgers Bloustein School\, concluded the session with insights on the use of Artificial Intelligence for visualizations and language data visualizations.\n\nThis workshop was hosted by the Rutgers Urban and Civic Informatics Lab (RUCI Lab) at the Bloustein School and the Rutgers Office of Advanced Research Computing and sponsored by the Bloustein School Master of Public Informatics program. It was organized by Dr. Bala Desinghu and Dr. Jim Samuel in collaboration with our partners\, the Eastern Regional Network (ERN)\, the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub (NEBDI Hub)\, and the New Jersey Big Data Alliance (NJBDA).

Her primary goal is to promote progressive\, climate-resilient communities that balance environmental\, social and economic goals. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Studies and Sustainable Development from Brandies University (2007) as well as a Master of City and Regional Planning from the Rutgers University Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy (2014). \nSince 2008\, Angela has served as The Virgin Islands’ Climate Change Officer\, building the Territory’s climate change programme from scratch into a small-island best practice model with support from regional institutional partners. In 2008\, she achieved Government approval of a multi-sector standing Climate Change Committee to support mainstreaming adaptation. In 2012\, following broad-based consultation\, she authored The Virgin Islands Climate Change Adaptation Policy. To serve as a sustainable financing mechanism for adaptation and mitigation\, Angela also co-led development of The Virgin Islands Climate Change Trust Fund\, a first of its kind in the Caribbean. This involved design of the Trust Fund architecture\, assisting in drafting the Trust Fund Bill and defending it before the House of Assembly. These efforts resulted in the passage of The Virgin Islands Climate Change Trust Fund Act in 2015. Angela has since supported operationalization of the Trust Fund\, including overseeing development of its Operational Manual. \nAngela has also designed and implemented creative climate change public education campaigns\, conducted a vulnerability and capacity assessment of the tourism sector to climate change and managed implementation of local physical adaptation projects. These projects were critical to protecting flood-prone\, coastal communities in record-breaking category 5 Hurricane Irma in 2017. \nIn addition to her climate change adaptation work\, Angela has contributed to beach management plans\, the Territory’s National Physical Development Plan and the Environmental Management and Climate Adaptation legislation. She also pioneered the Green Pledge Programme that encourages adoption of environmentally friendly practices across private sector and Government. \nFrom 2019 to 2021\, Angela served as the Climate Change Coordinator for Saint Lucia’s Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project\, a diverse portfolio of 126 climate change adaptation projects worth USD $74 million\, funded through the World Bank. In addition to providing project management support to the entire portfolio\, Angela was responsible for a sub portfolio of over 40 projects mainly focused on capacity building\, ecosystem restoration and enhancing data and data systems to support adaptation. She also provided technical support to the Project’s innovative Climate Adaptation Financing Facility\, administered by the Saint Lucia Development Bank. In that capacity\, she led design and development of the Act to Adapt App which predicts Category 5 hurricane impact to homes and helps homeowners determine projects to build resilience. \nIn her private capacity\, Angela serves as a climate change advocate. Following the devastation of Hurricane Irma in her country\, within 3 months she wrote and published The Irma Diaries\, a collection of survivor stories. With more than 35 speaking engagements around the world and a TEDx talk to date\, she uses the book as a platform to educate about the impacts of stronger hurricanes\, bridge personal connections to climate change and inspire global action. Angela has pledged 50% of profits from The Irma Diaries to survivors and the Climate Change Trust Fund. \nIn her spare time\, Angela enjoys all outdoor activities\, including her weekly Sunday swim! She looks forward to further contributions to climate change adaptation and sustainable development. \n\n \n\nARIELLE WORONOFF MPP ’09  \n\n\n\nArielle Woronoff is the Director of the Office of Legislation at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In this role\, Arielle advises the CMS Administrator on policy and operations and serves as the agency’s chief liaison to Congress. She develops and executes legislative strategy for key CMS priorities and provides strategic and technical input on agency administrative actions including during the development\, passage\, and implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act. \nPrior to this role\, Arielle served as Senior Health Counsel for the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance\, Majority Staff under Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR). Her portfolio was focused on the Affordable Care Act\, drug pricing issues\, and Medicare Advantage. During her time at the Finance Committee\, she also worked on policy issues related to Medicare hospital payment and health information technology. Arielle worked at the Finance Committee during the controversial 2017 legislative debate over repeal of the Affordable Care Act\, working with stakeholders and legislative staff to defend the law and formulating and making key procedural arguments to the Senate Parliamentarian related to the Senate budget reconciliation process.

During this time\, Arielle was a lead negotiator on key provisions of the 2015 Bipartisan Budget Act\, the 21st Century Cures Act and the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA). Arielle came to the Energy and Commerce Committee after advising Senator Cory A. Booker (D-NJ) on health policy while he was getting his Senate office up and running. Here she developed and advanced the Senator’s health policy priorities during his first year in the Senate. Prior to this\, Arielle was Domestic Policy Counsel for Congressman Sander M. Levin (D-MI)\, the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Ways and Means\, advising the Congressman on health care\, Social Security\, income security\, and budget issues. \nArielle has a Master of Public Policy degree with a concentration in health policy from the Rutgers Bloustein School for Planning and Public Policy and a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center.

SUMMARY:CAREERS:  MPP\, MCRP\, and MPI Fellowship Fair
DESCRIPTION:Ten (10) Fellowships will be showcased\, some of which are available while you are student and others which are available post-graduation! Fellowships\, like internships\, are paid experiences which enable you to get hands-on experience with real world projects and to give you a feel for what it’s like to work in a particular organization/job/field. However they are typically longer-term and structured a bit differently than an internship. They also provide the opportunity for you to build upon and learn new skills\, expand your resume\, get a foot in the door of an organization and to network with professionals working at that organization. \nREGISTRATION COMING SOON!
