UC San Diego School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences

Since I started teaching my Introduction to Data Science class here at UC San Diego ten years ago, I've worked hard to ensure that the students don't just hear from me, but that they get to hear directly from data science leaders. It's one thing for me to tell them something – it's another thing entirely to hear of the paths and experience of current leaders. Over these ten years I've gotten to meet scores of amazing data scientists from government, industry, and nonprofits here at the Hal?c?o?lu Data Science Institute, UC San Diego. On Tuesday, we were lucky to be joined by one of the best! Emily Kubicek, Ph.D. talked about her path from intern to data scientist to manager at The Walt Disney Company. Thank you Emily for inspiring the next generation of data scientists!

HDSI alum Cyril Gorlla (BS '22) and Trevor Tuttle (BS '22, MS '24) recently pitched their company, CTGT, at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024, as part of the Startup Battlefield competition. CTGT aims to make AI models safer by helping organizations more thoughtfully deploy #AI. They identify biased outputs and hallucinations from models, and attempt to address the root cause. https://lnkd.in/dvG5xc9X

Researchers from the San Diego Supercomputer Center, part of the UC San Diego School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences (SCIDS), have launched an exciting new initiative to tackle the growing challenges of wildland fires. ?? The Wildfire Science & Technology Commons will serve as a central hub, bringing together data, models, computing resources, and expertise. This collaborative space will help researchers and practitioners rapidly turn innovative ideas into scalable real-world solutions. By focusing on open data, cutting-edge science, and AI, this initiative will advance firetech and streamline research into production. ???
