Rhodes iiD Mission
Unprecedented access to data and to computing is transforming our world and iiD aims to equip Duke to play a leading role.
We work with Departments and Schools to transform data science education at Duke, to develop a large and vibrant data science community with Duke at the center, and to develop a broader base of high visibility interdisciplinary research.
