Since 2012, the Center for Research Innovation [1] has hosted the Research, Innovation and Scholarship Expo [2] (RISE), an annual exhibition for students and faculty to present their research to the Northeastern community and “industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, and technology enthusiasts [3]“. Each year RISE participants create nearly 400 posters to describe research activity at Northeastern covering a diverse range of disciplines, including computer and information science, engineering and technology, health sciences, humanities and arts, social science, as well as interdisciplinary topics.
