In this age of Big Data, cross-cutting applications of new technologies – with real-world, real-time input – that return relevant and contextualized results elicit an innovative, creative, and proactive human advantage. With much to offer to today’s expert analysts and novice learners, TI's application-agnostic intellectual property (IP) can power the discovery of actionable insight for a better, safer – smarter – world.

The MOHO Knowledge Discovery Platform adds a new and critical layer to learning that stimulates deep thinking about connections and enables individual/group ‘think tanks’ for exploring ideas. My current research and development projects are based on innovative applications of MOHO for offering 'Discovery as a Service' to academic and scientific students, faculty, administrators, and researchers.

RFTF2: Researching for the Future

Housed at UT Dallas, RFTF2: Researching for the Future represents a new initiative that recognizes that the digital age dramatically changes the way we read, see, interpret and create. Whereas the first wave of technological innovation simply produced tools to enhance existing patterns of research and creativity, Digital Humanities 2 embraces the openness and transformative quality of digital studies. UTD's growing cluster of research projects is intent on promoting technologies for teaching and learning by bringing together enabling technologies for scholarly exploration and civic engagement.

Five Years Before | Five Years from Now

Time just 'flies' - whether I'm working or playing or simply doing nothing... and thankfully it's all 'fun' for me. My mom taught me how to manage that outlook. She personified alacrity: a quick and cheerful readiness to do something. And my close friends continue to help me gain an ever-more-realistic sense of my own timing. You know who you are, so thanks for that my friends. The title of this blog (which catalogs my latest conversations with her memory) comes from a touching comment that my mother, Carla Sue Rucker Nix, made on accepting the fact that her time on this planet - as we know it - had essentially run out. This is my 'personal' blogsite.

BIG DREAMS | BIG DATA

Artists, scientists and technologists working on big ideas, need to be able to work with massive digital datasets (from pixels to waves to real-time streams), without compromising their projects due to limited network capabilities. Data artists are experimenting more and more with ways to make huge amounts of data comprehensible and accessible to a very broad range of people. Corporations are hiring independent artists to approach novel problems concerning data and to engage with that data in ways that haven’t been done before. This channel will encourage ‘early adopters’ to extend human networks to push the edge of the latest technological breakthroughs even further.
