Research software engineering
We partner with researchers to design, develop, and maintain robust, sustainable software tailored to the needs of academic research. Our team applies software engineering best practices to help transform prototypes into production-ready tools, ensuring your code is efficient, reproducible, and usable by the broader scientific community.
Data Science
From exploratory data analysis to advanced modeling and machine learning, we help researchers unlock the full potential of their data. Our data scientists collaborate closely with faculty and research teams to design workflows, conduct analysis, and interpret results, supporting rigorous, impactful, and reproducible research across disciplines.
Tool Building
We specialize in building custom interactive tools, web applications, and visualizations that make research insights accessible and actionable. Whether you need a data dashboard, a public-facing platform, or a domain-specific application, we work with you to design and develop tools that drive engagement and amplify the impact of your work.
Our mission:
- Increase the impact of Data Science Institute (DSI) Research by making available high-quality code that lowers the barrier to adoption of new tools by academic, government and industrial researchers.
- Support translation of DSI projects to practical applications.
- Strengthen grant proposals by increasing the availability of resources to faculty.
- Decrease the costs associated with implementing the computational aspects of data science research projects by providing fractional human capacity to projects.
- Educate a diverse and inclusive next generation of ethically minded and socially conscious data science leaders who are driven to use their skills to create positive change in the world.
