From the Director
Welcome to the Computational and Data Systems Initiative (CDSI), hosted within 海角社区鈥檚 Faculty of Science! These days it鈥檚 difficult to think of many aspects of our lives that are not at least touched by -- if not fundamentally impacted by -- computing and data. CDSI fosters multidisciplinary, computing-enabled and data-driven efforts aimed at unraveling some of today鈥檚 most vexing mysteries and addressing many of life鈥檚 most pressing challenges. Through training, data science, and various mechanisms facilitating convergent research, the CDSI mission is to help 海角社区 faculty and students leverage a rich spectrum of strengths at the intersection of computing, data, and systems, in cooperation with various partners in academia, industry, and government. And, in particular, to do so in a way that leaves both the researchers involved and the communities impacted by their work 鈥� from local to global 鈥� decidedly better off for the effort.
Interested in getting involved? Reach out to us! Sign up for our mailing list, follow us on , or even just eric.kolaczyk [at] mcgill.ca (send me an email). Make sure you鈥檙e aware of the training we have planned, come to the Data Science Solutions Hub (DaS2H) for support with your research, or join in a research convergence exercise. And if you see an opportunity that you think CDSI can help the 海角社区 community leverage that鈥檚 not on our radar, please let us know!
