He will be joined by co-contributors to the development of the course. The presentation will be followed by a special tour of the data center at the SDSC. This meeting is meant to be interactive so try to think of scenarios that Systems Engineers encounter in which Data Science could be useful. The scenario you suggest could become a case study for the course!
