Dylan Poulsen

John W. Allender Associate Professor of Data Ethics
Director of the Data Science Innovation Lab

Areas of Expertise

Data science and data ethics

Research

For almost anything you are interested in, there is a way to understand it more deeply through a quantitative lens. As an applied mathematician and data scientist, I have advised student capstones that use mathematics and data to understand how to design a propeller, make mathematical art, model the spread and containment of a disease, make a pendulum which balances itself automatically, power an electric boat, test drugs, make stock predictions, allocate solar power consumption, run faster, understand business risk, play games optimally and so much more! Work with me to help understand something you care about more deeply.
