Matt Dube- Associate Professor in Data Science, Computer Information Systems, and Applied Mathematics; UMA
Co-PI of an NSF EPSCoR RII Track-2 FEC funded Barracuda project; Matt is shepherding the workforce development component that focuses on the development of an interdisciplinary data science curriculum to build data skills in various areas such as ecology, specifically looking at high school students as they enter an undergraduate program in this iteration. This is only part of Dube’s overall goal of creating a more data literate society; one that also incorporates the human factors that go into this field of study. Dube hopes that eventually the data science curriculum developed as part of Barracuda will then be useful with undergraduates, graduates, and even faculty; helping them to gain the necessary data skills in fields such as ecology and agriculture.
