Overview:

The FDS Data Science Project Match, hosted by the Yale Institute for Foundations of Data Science (FDS), is an opportunity for Yale faculty from any department or school within the university to connect with talented students from the Statistics and Data Science, Applied Mathematics, and Computer Science departments. In a series of lightning-round talks, faculty will have exactly five minutes to pitch a current research problem, aiming to team up with students interested in tackling complex data challenges. This event facilitates collaboration on current research projects, offering a platform for faculty to present their data-driven initiatives and find skilled undergraduate or graduate students eager to contribute.
