Rutgers University–Newark has been at the forefront of computing and data-science research and teaching for many years. Investments in a high-performance computing cluster that has spurred advanced research across all Rutgers campuses, the hiring of its first Henry Rutgers Term Chair in Data Science, and the creation of a Data Science minor aimed at undergraduate students from all RU-N colleges are just some examples of the school’s commitment to leading in this all-important area.
This fall RU-N is doubling down on this plan as it launches the Institute for Data, Research and Innovation Science (IDRIS), an interdisciplinary center that will serve as an organizing hub for applied ethical scholarship and practice in data science and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) as they’re brought to bear on difficult problems facing urban communities.
