Data Science
Data Science continues to be one of the fastest growing jobs in the country, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
ICDI supports data science programs across the University of Arizona campus and leads several initiatives related to Open Science.
Resources
Cyberinfrastructure
Open Science leverages cyberinfrastructure (broadly defined as the integrated hardware, software, data, and people that support scientific computing) to enable access to large computational resources, like research high performance computing (HPC) environments and commercial cloud. Open and shared cyberinfrastructure facilitates collaboration amongst scientists globally, reduces redundancy, and optimizes resource utilization which lowers costs.
University of Arizona is the parent institution of the $120 million dollar NSF funded cyberinfrastructure CyVerse which supports a vast array of scientific and educational research on cutting edge resources funded by federal research agencies.
CyVerse accounts are provided pro-bono to University of Arizona faculty, staff, and students, simply create a new account using an @arizona.edu email address: https://user.cyverse.org/
Jetstream2 is a public research cloud hosted through the NSF ACCESS-CI framework.
ACCESS-CI is the NSF's allocation management platform providing access to cloud computing, high performance computing (HPC), and high throughput computing (HTC) resources. ACCESS allocations can be used for either research or education.
Artificial Intelligence
ICDI supports the University of Arizona's AI Working Groups and the student-driven AI-Core is led by Ash Black Director of Industry Engagement.
