Data Science Lunches

Data Science Lunches

During the academic year, our postdoctoral fellows meet most Tuesdays from 12pm – 1:30pm in the PSC 5th Floor Collaboration Space for an informal lunch with a Penn faculty guest speaker. Each speaker then leads the group in a casual discussion regarding the use of data science in their research. Discussions vary in content, but tend to focus on the applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence in various academic disciplines.

We encourage open conversation and the exchange of ideas at each lunch, thus fostering a collaborative environment among fellows and faculty alike. As such, these lunches provide an excellent opportunity for our fellows to make interdisciplinary connections and discover new ways to utilize data science in their own research.
