The Department of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering (CMSE) at Michigan State University (MSU) is pleased to announce the 2nd CMSE Data Science Student Conference (DISC) to be held on November 11, 2022.
This day-long conference is aimed at bringing together both graduate and undergraduate student researchers working in data and computational science broadly at MSU as well as students from many midwestern universities. Computational research across many disciplines will be covered including in machine learning, bioinformatics, medical imaging, image processing/analysis, astrophysics, plant sciences, inverse problems, computational physics, scientific computing, topological data analysis, geosciences, etc.
We would like to invite MSU student researchers to sign up for this opportunity to present their research at our conference. Students can sign-up at the following link. Please sign-up as soon as possible.

We have a variety of events planned including a plenary talk, poster sessions, an oral session, and a panel discussion on careers in data science. Prizes will be awarded for best research presentations. We will serve lunch, refreshments, and coffee during the conference. There will be an optional relaxation/wellness activity (such as exercise/yoga, meditation, or music). All conference events will be in-person with a Zoom option available for the talks and panel discussion. Zoom link and passcode will be sent to those who have signed-up.
