Engagement with Industry

We welcome dialogue with companies faced with challenges in deploying AI and data related technologies, and offer a neutral platform to level set best practices. Beyond tactical deployment problems, our expertise can inform longer term strategic directions: teams of faculty and doctoral students can explore company data and business context to formulate problems that are aligned with the long-term interests. We have seen it serve to retain talent in data-rich organizations that value such deeper modeling collaborations.

Ways to engage:

• Be a discussant for a Center Coffee Chat
• Sponsor a case competition or hackathon
• Sponsor a student educational project
• Co-develop thought leadership pieces like podcasts or vlogs
• Sponsor a faculty research project
