Summer Hangouts: Brent Cebul, Shane Jensen, and Sara Casella

Share your research experience with other undergrads, discuss our faculty talks, and more!

• Renewing Inequality and Mapping Historical Data: Brent Cebul (History)
• Urban Analytics in Philadelphia: How can we use data to improve our cities? Shane Jensen (Statistics)
• Tutorial:  Unstructured data and how to analyze texts - Sara Casella (Economics)

The summer 2020 hangout is intended for undergraduate students whose summer research involves quantitative analysis of datasets, including variants of machine learning. The research project could be in the humanities, social sciences or natural sciences. As part of SAS’s initiative in data science, we have set up a resource that we hope will be interactive and stimulating for you.

Typically there will be talks from 1-2pm, and tutorials on the basics of data science from 3-4pm. We can help set up other activities such as student talks and hack sessions on topics like data visualization and machine learning tools.
