DataX Research Network

Scholars across the UCLA campus are exploring questions about and uses of big data. This vibrant ecosystem is an intersection of disciplines, departments, people and communities. DataX is helping to connect researchers across disparate fields with common or overlapping interests. Whether it is collaborating on a research project, planning symposia or simply facilitating discussions, we are here to help remove barriers and enable collaboration.

The DataX Research Network is a collection of projects, groups, labs and centers that can serve as collaborators, teachers and allies to one another in their scholarly pursuits. Below are some of the centers, groups and projects in the network.
