Public Policy, Governance, and Data-Driven Research
When entering the University’s datacenter, it’s natural to wonder about the seemingly infinite sources of information being computed there. Could these systems be performing cutting-edge thermodynamic modeling? Or, perhaps are they helping to unravel some of the mysteries of quantum chemistry? That said, would your curiosity would change if the source of this data were closer to home? In fact, it’s much closer to home: the US Census Bureau or the Social Security Administration.
