Experience one of the best views in Boston from the top floor of the Duan Family Center for Computing & Data Sciences—one of the city’s newest architectural landmarks. This session brings together leading Boston University faculty working at the intersection of AI and data science for a candid, forward-looking conversation moderated by Kenneth Lutchen, Vice President and Associate Provost for Research. Featured speakers include: Nahid Bhadelia — Founding Director, CEID; BEACON Elizabeth Barnes — Professor and Dalton Family Chair in Environmental Data Science & Sustainability Mark Grinstaff — William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor (BME, Chemistry, MSE, MED) Ayşe Coskun — Professor (ECE, SE Affiliate); Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development Rather than revisiting past work, the discussion will focus on what’s next: emerging breakthroughs, how AI will reshape key industries, and where the most significant opportunities—and risks—will unfold over the next decade. Held in BU’s Duan Center—designed to enable cross-disciplinary collaboration—the program will conclude with a reception, offering the chance to connect directly with faculty, founders, engineers, and investors with an incredible backdrop of Cambridge, Boston and the Charles River.
