CDS holds Data Science and Software Services (DS3) Matchmaking Fair

NYU’s Center for Data Science held the Data Science and Software Services (DS3) Matchmaking Fair on October 18th.

The DS3 creates a central service for faculty and research staff to access expertise in data science and statistical methodology as well as software engineering aligned with research goals. DS3 aims to enhance the research capacity of NYU by providing highly skilled labor for funded projects and increasing the competitiveness of grant proposals.

The DS3 Matchmaking fair was designed to connect students and researchers. 83 CDS and PRIISM Masters students were in attendance, browsing tables from 30 different research projects being presented. Researchers discussed their work with students, who listened, took notes, and left contact information for more details.

Julia Kempe (Director of the Center for Data Science), Kyle Cranmer (Executive Director of the Moore-Sloan Data Science Environment at NYU), and Cybele Raver (Deputy Provost of NYU) joined students at the matchmaking fair to discuss how DS3 could support the projects proposed by researchers around the University.
