The Junior Faculty Fellows program is committed to engaging a community of researchers across schools and colleges at BU and to recognize outstanding early-career computational and data-driven researchers. It does so by bringing together a cohort of junior faculty members to partake in intellectual exchanges and integrative activities, and to probe the possibilities of interdisciplinary collaborations.
