Computers are now predicting stock market changes, detecting cancer, and translating documents—all thanks to the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence. At the forefront of this field are Hopkins engineers and computer scientists, building better algorithms to tackle problems once thought to be too complex for computers to solve.

One of the department’s greatest strengths is applying data science and analytics to healthcare applications. Projects include using wearables data to monitor and prevent health problems, improving diagnostics, and turning patient care into precision medicine. Notably, our researchers quickly shifted focus to contribute to the fight against COVID-19 by developing prediction models to track the pandemic and analyzing data to understand health disparities, among other projects.
