Please join us in welcoming the Data Driven Discovery Initiative’s 2025 cohort of Data Science Postdoctoral Fellows! These scholars bring together deep disciplinary knowledge paired with cutting-edge expertise in data science, and will contribute to a growing interdisciplinary community at Penn.
Our new fellows will join a vibrant, cross-disciplinary community of researchers by participating in seminars, collaborative discussions, and shared programming that connects departments and schools. By engaging with faculty, students, and fellow postdocs across diverse fields, they will help build a dynamic community centered on the use of data science to tackle complex questions. They will also connect with fellows in the AI x Science and AI x Science x Medicine programs, strengthening ties across Penn’s broader data science and AI research community.
This year, we welcome Carolina Torreblanca (quantitative research on the political economy of crime and punishment), Coby Viner, (computational modeling of how evolutionary processes shape molecular systems) and Xiaozhi (Taro) Yang (computational modeling of judgement and decision making) to our 2025 cohort. Congratulations to these outstanding researchers! We look forward to the contributions they will make to the DDDI community and beyond.
