The Data Driven Discovery theme represents UTA’s commitment to focus on inter-disciplinary advances in data science and analytics to enable computation-based discoveries, propel research in all fields, and develop new technologies for society. We will use big data to discover and share new state-of-the-art information, as well as enhance existing knowledge. In addition to hearing from the President, Provost, Vice President for Research, and several college deans, there will be an opportunity for faculty members to briefly describe their relevant research with a goal of developing new collaborations to help move your research, teaching, and service forward.
