91ÇÑ×Ó

The O’Donnell Institute serves as the activity hub for 91ÇÑ×Ó Data Science Cluster.  91ÇÑ×Ó has already devoted considerable resources to data science and has substantial strength in both its tools and applications. On the curricular side 91ÇÑ×Ó offers a suite of masters’ degrees including online MS in Data Science, MS in Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence, MS in Network Engineering, MS in Datacenter Systems Engineering, MS in Business Analytics, MS in Applied Economics and Predictive Analytics, MS in Applied Statistics and Data Analytics, in addition to the long-standing MS in Operations Research.  To these 91ÇÑ×Ó has added a BS in Data Science and a PhD in Data Science to be housed in a newly formed Department of Statistics and Data Science (SDS).

The faculty supporting the Data Science Cluster are housed across different academic departments at 91ÇÑ×Ó. The cluster faculty will augment and broaden 91ÇÑ×Ó’s core capabilities in statistical techniques, data science, data mining. data analytics using AI/ML, and scientific computation.  Each of the faculty hired into this cluster is expected to contribute to data science at 91ÇÑ×Ó through teaching data science courses and collaboration in grant applications, with faculty across 91ÇÑ×Ó and the O’Donnell Institute.
