Data Science Education and Career Paths
Group Chairs: Tyler McCormick and Sarah Stone
This group develops innovative teaching methods and formats to make both formal and informal training in data science skills more accessible within and beyond the UW. We also focus on how to create and sustain long-term career trajectories for a new generation of researchers whose work depends crucially on the analysis of massive, noisy, and/or complex data.
