About Us

Across its diverse departments, UC Davis offers courses that effectively make it a leader in the exploitation of current opportunities offered by computational social science. This DE creates synergies among the existing courses and research initiatives by bringing them together in a coherent way. In this sense, the DE provides new and complementary dimensions to existing graduate programs.

The group consists of over 50 faculty members from over a dozen Departments across campus.
