Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced computing are rapidly shifting the landscape of academic research. From weather modeling, prediction, and scanning to energy research, health innovations, and more, the University of Oklahoma is quickly becoming a leader in this technological revolution, at the forefront of advances that positively impact communities worldwide.
With the launch of the university's strategic plan in 2020, it defined two of its five key pillars around research excellence that change lives. A core cross-cutting capability enabling this success is the work supported by OU's Data Institute for Societal Challenges. DISC is bringing together OU researchers with national and international collaborators to develop advances in data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and real-world applications.
"Data touches every aspect of our lives today. Being at the leading edge of the advanced computing technologies of today is essential to discovering the life-changing advancements of tomorrow," said OU Vice President for Research and Partnerships Tomás Díaz de la Rubia. "DISC has been integral to our year-over-year research growth and ensuring that OU research can be at the forefront of discovery and innovation."
