A new paradigm of transformational AI-enabled scientific discovery across the physical and biological sciences, advancing core AI principles and training a new generation of diverse interdisciplinary scientists.

Data & Democracy

A collaboration between the DSI and the Center for Effective Government that conducts cross-disciplinary research, convenes key stakeholders, and circulates and amplifies the findings needed to protect democracy in the digital age.

Internet Equity

Developing new data science tools to measure broadband access and performance and working with community partners to make high-speed internet accessible to all.

AICE: AI for Climate

Interdisciplinary integration of AI with fundamental domain knowledge to accelerate and transform climate research with a focus on both scientific advances and societal impacts.

Data Ecology

The goal of data ecology is to study dataflows and design interventions to control how data impacts our world.

Complementary AI

Exploring how to train AI models that augment rather than mimic human capacity.

Work with us!

We have several job opportunities currently open, including faculty positions, postdoctoral and preceptorship programs, and technical and administrative staff positions.
