Engage with Big Data at Duke
Rhodes Information Initiative at Duke brings disciplines together to unlock the potential of big data.
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.
