Congratulations to eight engineering & computer science students who were awarded $2,500 each in research funding this semester from the Northwestern Mutual Data Science Institute (NMDSI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A partnership among UWM, Marquette University and Northwestern Mutual, NMDSI aims to establish Wisconsin as a national hub for data science.\u00a0Through its competitive Student Research Scholars initiative, the NMDSI has supported more than 100 semester-long projects at UWM and Marquette since fall 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eligible projects focus on five specific areas: artificial intelligence; AI and data bias and ethics; behavioral economics; financial literacy; and health and wealth inequities. Four other UWM awards were made to students in other colleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This semester’s student scholars and their faculty advisors include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
