A Hub for Innovation in Data Science and Quantum Engineering
Data Science (DS) and Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) are far-reaching and rapidly evolving, multifaceted domains in science and engineering that are playing an increasingly central role in shaping our future society. DataQS acts as a hub, bringing together groups of scientists, researchers, students, and trainees to promote interdisciplinary research and dissemination activities, undergraduate, graduate mentoring, and postdoctoral training under the ever-growing umbrella of DS and QISE.
Vision
Our vision at DataQS is to become a Beacon at the intersection of the Data and Quantum Science fields, advancing the mission of UMass Boston in research, teaching, outreach, and community engagement.
Expand Quantum Information Programs
UMass Boston was awarded a $5 million grant, Expand QUantum Information Programs at UMass Boston (EQUIP-UMB), from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its ExpandQISE program, which aims to develop a broad and multidisciplinary talent pool primed for active participation in the U.S. QISE workforce.
