command control and interoperability of supply chains, for example, he explained.


That’s why Big Data students and


faculty at Jackson State are investing time, talent and STEM knowledge in finding causes to a variety of neuron degenerative diseases, such as the etymology of Alzheimer’s, as well as problems at the nexus of food, energy, and water. Notable accomplishments include: Engineering students at Jackson


ackson State University’s College of Science, Engineering, and Technology is at the helm of data-science and engineering. “Big Data scientists and engineers


are needed to provide knowledge to design, establish and secure this wonderful new world that is now our future,” said Dr. Richard Alo, dean of Jackson State’s College of Science, Engineering & Technology (CSET). How is Jackson State helping


students understand what Dr. Alo calls the “Sixth Wave Society or World of the Industrial Internet”? The Sixth Wave (a.k.a. Alvin Toffler)


is a world of sensors, often referred to as the Internet of Things, which has brought about the Industrial Internet that propels the global economy — the


State University have designed, filed a patent application, and are moving to the product development stage of a “smart mat” that gauges the foot temperature of diabetics. The idea is to help thwart the danger of lower extremity amputations. This is especially useful in Mississippi, where the risk is greater, according to the CDC. In April, Dr. Kamal Ali, chair of


Jackson State University’s Department of Industrial Systems and Technology, was among the new class of Fellows of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), inducted at a ceremony held at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, in Boston. Jackson State University chemistry


professor Dr. Paresh Ray is a recent recipient of the Mahatma Gandhi Award for his contributions to cancer research. Ray is the director of a diverse group of JSU researchers who share an interest in changing the way cancer is treated. According to MSNewsNow, the gist of Ray’s work is “rooting out early cancer
