2nd MSU CMSE Data Science Student Conference (DISC) 2022
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.
