2020 Symposium
Thank you for joining us!
This event aims to bring together experts in the theoretical foundations and development and application of data intensive technologies and analysis to share discoveries, practical ideas, and insights. IDIES and MINDS seek to promote interdisciplinary collaborations and invite researchers from across JHU, the government, industry, and local organizations that have an interest in data science and how to apply it in their own projects or future projects to attend the symposium. To learn more about IDIES and MINDS, and the resources they offer, please be sure to visit their websites.
The symposium will include:
- Keynote Speaker Dr. Lauren Gardner, Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, and Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) Co-Director
- Invited speakers highlighting exciting data science break throughs and applications
- IDIES Seed Fund Awardee Updates & MINDS awards ceremony
- Break out sessions
- Student Poster Session
