WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – When Mark Daniel Ward launched Purdue University’s Data Mine initiative in 2018, he worked with fewer than 100 students from various academic backgrounds who wanted to learn about data science and how to use it in their careers.
Fast forward to today. Ward, professor of statistics and director of The Data Mine, is coordinating real-world projects with 26 companies in Indiana and beyond. He’s offering data science training to 600 Purdue undergraduate and graduate students this year, with plans to reach more than 1,000 students in the year ahead.
