Its mission is to conduct research in artificial intelligence, data science, and computational science, as well as to apply these subjects to natural and social sciences. The center now has six wings: AI &amp; ML, Data Science, HCI, Computational Physics &amp; Astronomy, Computational Biology, and Industrial Partnership and Training. The center currently has 12 supervisors from the departments of CSE, Physical Sciences, and Life Sciences and over 30 worldwide collaborators (from academia and industry in the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and Finland). 12 full-time research assistants (graduates of IUB and other universities), 5 part-time research assistants, and around 30 undergraduate students are actively working on several funded projects. The center also provides cutting-edge machine learning and artificial intelligence training through regular workshops, summer schools to young researchers and professionals, preparing them for the fourth industrial revolution. More than 25 alumni from the center are currently pursuing PhDs at the top ranked universities of the world as well as working as machine learning engineers in the software industry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mdm1zycc-a9dfb7b60c09dc64abd5acb6a1c01006\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-mdm1zycc-a9dfb7b60c09dc64abd5acb6a1c01006{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-mdm1zycc-a9dfb7b60c09dc64abd5acb6a1c01006 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mdm1zycc-a9dfb7b60c09dc64abd5acb6a1c01006 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-mdm1zycc-a9dfb7b60c09dc64abd5acb6a1c01006 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Impacts of CCDS<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdm20arr-1e58c34adbc76111ece9d9637f332156'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The Center for Computational and Data Sciences (CCDS), was established in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div class='flex_column av-cvh4d-926950a96c58cb9e3fc7885c0c1405df av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdm21xlr-240802de864445689fa96b55747d6b65'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"av-special-heading av-llm0k2qp-7e39acf5b8922794cf1c59a3546c0a3d av-special-heading-h2 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote modern-centered avia-builder-el-5 el_before_av_textblock avia-builder-el-first \" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h2 class=\"av-special-heading-tag\">100 + Publications in 3 years<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section av-llm0pssx-e538d1005861337eb804116304c083df\">\n<div class=\"avia_textblock\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>Researchers, including Professors, Research Scientists, PhDs, MS Students, and Undergrads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class='flex_column av-aq231-ada01d5c37a5eaa40a475dddcb26db01 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdm22m12-a4aaa9d5ba6c32231c0c5a07b13c6519'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"av-special-heading av-llm0l4wf-e747c64854f241688fef428ee596ce73 av-special-heading-h2 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote modern-centered avia-builder-el-8 el_before_av_textblock avia-builder-el-first \">\n<h2 class=\"av-special-heading-tag\" style=\"text-align: center;\">BDT 8 Million<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section av-llm0sro3-7a70fea59da82a9d0a94e2d15934da93\">\n<div class=\"avia_textblock\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Annual Budget<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-917","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccds.ai\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccds.ai\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccds.ai\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccds.ai\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccds.ai\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=917"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/ccds.ai\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/917\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1624,"href":"https:\/\/ccds.ai\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/917\/revisions\/1624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccds.ai\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
