News

• [Education] 6/20/2019: Dr. Jiang and his student Arpan hosted a 2-hour "Data Science" seminar at the Alabama Computer Science Summer Camp. The seminar was attended by 30 high school students from different states in the U.S. This is the third consecutive year that we hosted the data science seminar at the Camps. Really enjoyable to interact with high school students and to teach them data science!
