Penn State | ICDS
Met in person for the first time with colleagues from across Penn State this week under the auspices of the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS). ICDS promotes innovative, high-performance computation methods across colleges and disciplines. It enables advanced simulation and statistical modeling, data analysis, data mining, machine learning, and more.
Among other topics, we discussed ways to apply these tools and methods to identify and address gaps in diversity, equity, and inclusion, such as by looking at the innovation process through the lens of big data – from information disclosure to patenting to licensing to see how women or racial minorities fare, where there might be bottlenecks, and how we can improve the innovation ecosystem.
ICDS plays a critical role in keeping research across the university open and inclusive and in fostering dialogue and collaboration. As scholars increasingly harness new computing-enabled tools, computational and data sciences will become a mainstay, even in legal scholarship. Its cyberscience initiatives support researchers probing both the far corners of the universe to atoms and to they intersect with law and society.
Congratulations to the ICDS team, and thank you for all your hard work this week in bridging our research! For more information about ICDS, see https://dev.ics.psu.edu/about/
