The University of Tennessee-Knoxville and the department of energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are teaming together to promote advanced research and provide innovative solutions to global challenges in energy, engineering and computation through a new doctoral program in data science and engineering.
According to the news article, the program is “the brainchild” of ORNL computational sciences and engineering division director Shaun S. Gleason, Ph.D. (TN A ’89), UT business analytics associate professor Russell Zaretzki, and Bredesen Center Director Lee Riedinger. Enrollment plans are to admit 10 to 15 graduate students per year, growing to a goal of approximately 100 students.
