![]() ![]() The culmination of years of our community’s growth and progress is a momentous cause for celebration.ĬDS made sure to continue cultivating relationships with our external partners: DeepMind, one of our earliest partners, worked closely with our external affairs team this year to ensure scholarship funding for underrepresented graduate students. We also celebrated the graduation of our very first undergraduate cohort and our first two PhD students in May. Our faculty went far and beyond to deliver high quality education and mentoring in this unusual hybrid setting. The undergraduate data science program, which launched in Fall 2019, saw incredible growth this year – 294 undergraduate students declared data science as their majors and minors, bringing the total number of undergraduate majors and minors to 349.ġ28 masters students graduated despite the immense obstacles remote and hybrid education have posed throughout the majority of their time at CDS. Our academic programs thrived despite the difficulties posed by the pandemic. Our faculty continues to shine: Kyunghyun Cho received the prestigious Samsung Ho-Am Prize in Engineering Pascal Wallisch was awarded an NYU 2021 Teaching Innovation Award, and Julia Stoyanovich, Co-Founder & Director of the Center for Responsible AI (R/AI), helped cement CDS’ data ethics efforts by bridging R/AI to CDS’ ongoing initiatives, and receiving the designation as Institute Associate Professor of the Tandon School of Engineering. We also launched a Guest Research Editorial series for our blog, in which CDS community members take to our platform to share new ideas, ask thought-provoking questions, and highlight exciting research insights. Our students, staff, faculty, and researchers continued to demonstrate their resiliency, launched new efforts, welcomed newcomers, strengthened partnerships, and most notably, performed rigorous research despite unimaginable obstacles. This spring, we continued to open our doors to our community, once again in a hybrid format due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
