Learning

The theme of big data in IoT and genomics pervades the unique philosophy of Dr. Chaterji's teaching. Dr. Chaterji has developed and taught three innovative new courses, and is offering a 4th one this semester — two 1-credit modules and two 3-credit modules, on various aspects of applied ML for IoT, cloud computing, and genomics. Funded through NSF-CAREER and NIFA awards, her learning platforms instantiate a slew of active learning techniques, podcasting, and invited speakers and entrepreneurs in data science and engineering to her classes. She has been successful at attracting technically diverse students to her courses through an exciting agile curriculum that she is developing for data science and data engineering within ABE. This is crucially important because computing is key for digital agriculture and for next-generation biological engineering.
