The AI &Data Science Stars Seminar Series aims to establish interdisciplinary collaboration by connecting emerging scholars and recent NSF (or other agencies) CAREER awardees across diverse research fields, especially targeting Data Science (DS) faculty members’ research directions and beyond (including Computer Science and Information Systems), enhancing the DS department's identity and Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) as a hub for innovation and thought leadership. It provides an open platform for sharing cutting-edge research, inspiring students and early-career researchers, and fostering professional networks between academia and industry.
