O’Donnell Data Science and Research Computing Institute

Our mission is to facilitate interdisciplinary research in Data Science, as well as research computing, across the university.

SMU's O’Donnell Data Science and Research Computing Institute was launched in Fall 2020. We aim to develop research connections between our faculty affiliates and corporations, federal/state/local governmental agencies, 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 serve as a gateway to SMU's high performance computing environment and data science training tutorials and workshops.
