Two Presidential Fellows at UVA’s Data Science Institute hope to access trove of data from the International Space Station as “early adopters” of a new NASA program.

The vision for the school includes making a positive impact on society through the application of data science on real-world issues, and training responsible leaders for a data-driven society.

From designing drugs to global health, to criminal justice reform, scientists and clinicians from a range of fields are using data science to improve lives.

In response to growing demand for advanced training in the use of big data, the Data Science Institute will offer an online master’s program beginning next summer.
