O’Donnell Data Science and Research Computing Institute

Our mission is to perform multi-disciplinary research in data science, high performance computing, AI/ML, and future technologies.

SMU's O’Donnell Data Science and Research Computing Institute was launched in Fall 2020. Our mission is to perform multi-disciplinary research in data science, high performance computing, AI/ML, and future technologies. We also serve as a gateway to SMU's high-performance computing (HPC) environment. The Institute develops connections between our faculty affiliates and government agencies, industry, and nonprofit organizations. The Institute strives to provide these partners with access to graduate and undergraduate students in our data science programs for project participation, internships, and potential full-time employment. We also provide workshops and training in data science and AI/ML, as well as domain science expertise to HPC users.
