Data Science Lunch: Stefano Puntoni

Stefano Puntoni is the Sebastian S. Kresge Professor of Marketing at the Wharton School, as well as the co-director of AI at Wharton. His research explores how emerging technologies, particularly AI, are transforming consumption and society. Focusing on the psychology of AI, he examines how people interact with and adopt artificial intelligence in their day-to-day lives, shedding light on consumer behavior and adoption patterns.

During the academic year, our postdoctoral fellows meet 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.
