Data Science and Analytics

The Unit for Data Science is a hub for trainings, research collaborations and student mentorship. It is a one-of-a-kind resource at ASU Library that connects students, faculty and staff from disciplines across the university. By working with us, students and faculty alike have grown their knowledge of data science and increased its impact on their work. By collaborating and mentoring, the Unit for Data Science pursues data science research that engages machine learning, data analytics, visual storytelling, network analysis and text and data mining. Training opportunities to get involved and learn about data science include self-paced tutorials and project collaborations, a free online Canvas course, a podcast, workshops and open labs.
