Domain Vision
Domain Co-Leaders: Dr Gentry White and Professor Kevin Desouza
ECR Co-lead: Dr Aiden Price
Partnering with government agencies to improve people’s lives.
Developing cutting-edge, data-driven solutions to drive innovation in public agencies, public policy processes, and governance systems. Our research:
- Addresses the urgent challenges facing public agencies trying to make sense of their vast data reservoirs to create and implement evidence-driven public policy.
- Designs and evaluates computational solutions driving innovation in the business of government, and
- Solves challenges faced by public agencies designing, developing, and deploying data-driven systems
