Data Science Poster Fair Archives

The Data Science Poster Fair is held annually in at the end of the fall and spring semester. As a part of their degree requirements, Data Science M.S. students conduct research under the direction of a faculty advisor culminating with a capstone project and poster presentation. Students presenting at this event will discuss details of their capstone project, including their driving question, methods, and results, and will be available to address questions and connect with guests during their time slot. Faculty from numerous departments across the University are affiliated with the data science graduate program, therefore a variety of areas are represented with each student’s capstone project. 

Poster fairs are generally open to the public and all interested undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, staff, faculty, and industry professionals are encouraged to attend.  During the pandemic, the poster fair was hosted virtually.

Some of the more recent poster fair entries and winners are detailed below. Additionally, check out this list of all previously presented posters

Spring 2020

Instead of submitting posters for in-person evaluation, the spring 2020 capstone projects were submitted via video. Each student prepared and submitted a five-minute video, highlighting their research under the guidance of their faculty advisor. All submissions were reviewed by a panel of faculty judges, and the winning projects were selected.

Best video award: Sai Kumar Kayala
