The Faculty Fellows Program in the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences (CDS) is conceived to develop and nurture a strong community of exceptional faculty members who pursue novel computational and data-driven research with strong potential for long-term impact. To that end, the program endeavors to identify and support newly recruited faculty members<\/span><\/strong> in various disciplines at BU, and to provide them with opportunities for connecting with the faculty members and programs in CDS.<\/p>\n
