Leveraging the resources of the computational age
Researchers now have access to staggering amounts of data that can offer important insights about the world – often in ways that are unexpected and unexplored.
At TRIADS, our mission is to explore new datasets and new techniques to better understand and address critical problems facing society today. We create and support transdisciplinary collaborations among scholars to connect big data to big questions.
