EPIC Lab: Effective Programming, Interaction, and Computation with Data

A group of UC Berkeley researchers – including BIDS Faculty Affiliates Aditya Parameswaran, Sarah Chasins and Joseph Hellerstein (Berkeley EECS), Erin Kerrison (Berkeley School of Social Welfare), and...

Computational imaging and microscopy

BIDS Faculty Affiliate Laura Waller offers this project through UC Berkeley's Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP). Waller's Computational Imaging Lab at UC Berkeley is building new microscopes that use computation to do things that microscopes normally can't, like 3D imaging,...

Computational Precision Health

The joint UC Berkeley-UCSF Program in Computational Precision Health (CPH) will bridge medicine, statistics, and computation to improve the quality, efficiency, and equity of medicine and population health. BIDS Faculty Affiliate Maya Petersen is a CPH Co-Director, and CPH Core and Affiliate Faculty include BIDS Faculty Affiliates ...

California Ecosystem Dynamics

For this project, BIDS-Accenture Global Environmental Change Research Scholar R.J. Cody Markelz focuses on the intersection between invasive species, climate change, and wildfire in California ecosystems. Using his background in functional genomics and physiological ecology, Markelz applies these expertise areas to larger spatial scale models to better understand climate change and the impacts of fire on California ecosystems and biodiversity.

Evictions Study

The Evictions Study is an affiliate of the Urban Displacement Project that combines theory and data science to understand demographic disparities and neighborhood drivers of eviction. This interdisciplinary team – a collaboration between researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Washington – examines court records and Sheriff warrants to identify race, ethnic, and sex disparities of evicted renters, with the goal to...
