Celebrate Alumni Weekend with an exclusive update about the Faculty of Mathematics and a conversation exploring the importance of using data and building technology that is responsible, fair, and inclusive.
Christiane Lemieux, Associate Dean, Operations and Academic, will describe our efforts to build enthusiasm for math, computer science, and data science in larger, more diverse groups of prospective students and enhance data science education to develop a new generation of versatile, entrepreneurial, and ethical data scientists.
Featured Talk
Preparing students to care about responsible technology by Maura R. Grossman, J.D., Ph.D.
Maura R. Grossman, J.D., Ph.D., is a Research Professor in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, an Adjunct Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School of York University, and an affiliate faculty member at the Vector Institute of Artificial Intelligence. She also is Principal at Maura Grossman Law, an eDiscovery law and consulting firm in Buffalo, New York. Maura is most well known for her scholarly work on technology-assisted review (“TAR”), most notably, Technology-Assisted Review in E-Discovery Can Be More Effective and More Efficient Than Exhaustive Manual Review, published in the Richmond Journal of Law &Technology in 2011, which has been widely cited in case law, both in the U.S. and abroad. She is also known for her appointments as a special master in multiple high-profile federal and state court cases. In addition to her J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center, Maura also holds M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Psychology from the Derner Institute of Adelphi University.
Maura will discuss how a clinical psychologist and lawyer ends up as a research professor in a school of computer science, and her mission to teach data science, computer science, and software engineering students to move slower and break fewer things.
