Though we are not really all back on campus, we are starting the new academic year, and DSI is beginning 2020-2021 with important changes.

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Sarah Brown, currently a DSI Postdoctoral Fellow, has accepted a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Rhode Island and will move to URI in August 2020.

William Jordan, a member of the first cohort of Data Science master’s degree students, is a recipient of the 2019 Joukowsky Family Foundation Outstanding Dissertation Award.

A new initiative on campus this semester is both an exciting learning opportunity for undergraduates and a valuable resource for faculty.

The Brown Data Science Club hosted its fifth annual Datathon on February 22-23, 2020. 

A research project of Brown sociology PhD student Thomas Marlow has garnered media attention stemming from an article in the Guardian, which featured at the top of the Guardian’s US page when it came out.

The Data Science Initiative and the Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning embarked on a partnership at the beginning of the current academic year to add data science to the curriculum across campus through the Data Science Fellows program, which trains undergraduates to support faculty in adding data science to their courses.
