Research at Northeastern puts humans at the center, ensuring that tomorrow’s discoveries in health, security, and sustainability meet human needs and aspirations. Northeastern’s urban informatics program teaches students how to apply data analytics to the challenges facing cities. It’s the type of coursework that is central to humanics, says program director Dan O’Brien, an associate professor of public policy and urban affairs and director of the Boston Area Research Initiative. As one of Northeastern’s informal “humanics ambassadors,” he says humanics education goes hand-in-hand with experiential learning and co-curricular activities because learning is better when it’s done in a variety of contexts. “Getting involved at research centers and institutes on campus is an incredible way for students to get a feel for the skills they are learning,” he says, “especially in data science.”
