Our data science postdoctoral fellows are a select group of researchers who utilize computation approaches in data science to answering questions in the arts and sciences. Fellows meet regularly with invited faculty to discuss applications of data science to research topics.
The Undergraduate Data Science Fellows Program supports Penn undergraduates pursuing theses or independent, faculty-supervised research projects that feature a strong data science component. Through this program, students receive grant funding to advance innovative, data-driven research across disciplines.
Since 2022, the Data Driven Discovery Initiative has provided seed grants through the Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) program. These grants support projects that address wide-scale societal challenges through innovative data science methods and interdisciplinary scholarship.
Each summer, DDDI hosts a data science workshop for undergraduates involved in research. Penn faculty members from both the natural and social sciences present work that applies data science to their research. Undergraduates also attend tutorials led by our postdocs and graduate students on data science methods.
