The Data Science Institute (DSI) was established as an institute at Brown University in 2023. We extend our reach across campus and beyond, providing education in data science and data fluency, stimulating large-scale interdisciplinary research, and ensuring that we leverage the power of data toward a more equitable society.
Our community includes core and affiliated faculty, graduate students, postdocs and undergraduates. DSI also houses two research centers, the Center for Computational Molecular Biology (CCMB) and the Center for Technological Responsibility, Re-imagination, and Redesign (CNTR).
DSI is unique because we:
- Equally value both domain-driven and fundamental methodological research in data science;
- Increase data fluency and educate the next generation of data scientists, through our master’s program and providing outreach to students and researchers at a variety of career stages;
- Explore the impact of the data revolution on culture, education, health and genomics, society, and social justice by engaging with research partners within the University and beyond.
