Researchers from Computer Science to IBES to Africana Studies gathered at DSI last Friday to share a diverse range of DSI-funded data science projects. These researchers were the recipients of DSI's 2023 Data Science Grants @ Brown, who have spent the past year making advancements in machine learning and cryptology, writing textbooks and building community relations, and developing internship programs and data science education practices. The 2023 and 2024 Seed Grants awardees, members of the DSI Campus Advisory Board, and DSI faculty, staff, and students attended this celebration of Data Science at Brown.
After a wonderful of celebration of the data science work done in 2023-2024, DSI is thrilled to announce the awardees of the 2024 Data Science Grants @ Brown, who will similarly spend the next year developing a variety of data science projects, spanning from machine learning to medicine to oceanography to anthropology and Egyptology.
