The Center for Data-Driven Science
In the last few decades, scientists have created novel ways to collect a vast amount and wide variety of data across disciplines. Data-intensive, computational methods have thus emerged as a key enabler of scientific discovery. This data-driven revolution poses unprecedented opportunities and challenges. The purpose of the Center for Data-Driven Science (CDDS) is to foster interdisciplinary research that leverages scientific domain knowledge and computational, algorithmic, statistical, and mathematical tools to forge scientific paths from data to knowledge and understanding of the workings of nature, people, and society.
Mission
The mission of CDDS is to advance education and research in state-of-the-art analytical methods in data science and to apply these methods to address complex problems in all domains of science, from climate to urbanization to health and well-being.
As part of this mission, we will draw on innovative pedagogies and advanced technology to train undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars to be at the cutting-edge of their knowledge domains as they learn to make strategic use of scientific data. As researchers, our ability to discover meaningful patterns in data and develop strong predictive models is key to uncovering new insights and solutions to some of the most difficult scientific and societal challenges we face now and in the future.
We welcome collaboration and partnership with other entities within FAU (e.g., other colleges, FAU High School, research pillars) and outside of FAU (e.g., Max Planck, Scripps).
