Scott Hawker featured in "Research @ RIT" Article

Prof Scott Hawker's work with the Lab for Environmental Computing and Decision Making (LECDM) was featured in Research @ RIT, RIT's bi-annual magazine.

LECDM is currently developing computer models to help analyze the effect of public policies on the environment. According to Dr. Hawker: “New modeling techniques have the potential to greatly improve public policy analysis. These models can ultimately be used by [government and organizations] to better inform public decisions related to environmental quality, alternative energy development, and sustainable transportation design.”
