We propose a campus research theme in Computational and Data Science. This research field has emerged as an important companion to theoretical and experimental research in natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences. Due to recent advances in high-throughput measurement technologies in nearly every active research area, as well as increased computational hardware capabilities, we now have unprecedented opportunities and access to terabyte, petabyte, and even exabyte datasets. Computational and Data Science researchers are addressing the need for developing next-generation computational models and methods to analyze data which, in turn, lead to predictive theories and more refined experimental investigations.
