The HDSI Data Science in Industry seminar series provides the opportunity for Harvard students, faculty and postdocs to hear directly from industry data scientists about the role data science plays in their organization, the methods and techniques being used, and their own career trajectory. Speakers are invited from companies spanning a broad range of sectors, including finance, tech, sports, pharma and media. Each talk typically lasts around 45 minutes, followed by 45 minutes for Q&A with the speaker.
Our 2018/19 seminar series were extremely well attended, and we have an exciting series of speakers lined up for the 2019/20 academic year. If your organization would like to participate in our Data Science In Industry series, please contact us at datascience@harvard.edu.
