Riding Data Waves: from ripples to tsunamis

Thayer's Visionaries in Technology Speaker Series features Brenda Dietrich, The Geoffrion Family Professor of Practice at Cornell's School of Operations Research

10/25/2019
3:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Spanos Auditorium, Cummings Hall
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars

A quick history of the past six decades of IT—with a focus on the digitization of data and the creation of new data by-products—followed by a brief detour to discuss the technology projections of 1995. The talk will resume with examples of use and creation of data and will conclude with a view of future possibilities, issues that may accelerate or delay the possibilities, and some musings on ways to defend first-principals-driven methods from displacement by purely data-driven approaches.

Brenda Dietrich joined Cornell University in 2017 after a 33-year career at IBM where she led IBM’s mathematical research team in the area now called analytics and/or data science.

Reception follows in GlycoFi Atrium. Everyone welcome.
