SPEAKER/BIO:
*Dr. Deb Agarwal, Senior Scientist, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory*



ABSTRACT:
Understanding environmental systems, providing clean water, predicting
water availability, and understanding material properties are just a few of
the areas where data science is enabling science breakthroughs. This talk
will describe some of these science challenges and the role for data
science in helping to address these challenges. In a national laboratory
environment, the focus is on team science and tackling challenges that
require an integrated team of people from many disciplines. In this talk I
will describe some of the challenges we as data scientists are helping to
solve and some of the next data science and machine learning challenges
that need to be tackled.

Bio: Dr. Agarwal is a Senior Scientist and the Data Science and Technology
Department (http://dst.lbl.gov), Head at Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory (LBNL). Dr. Agarwal’s current research focuses on developing
computational tools to enable scientists to more effectively organize and
use their data to address challenges. Two of her current major projects
include a data repository for Earth Science data and a water treatment
innovation project called NAWI. She has worked on projects involving
watershed understanding, tropical forests, soil carbon, carbon capture,
cosmology, particle accelerators, and satellite data. Dr. Agarwal earned
her BS in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University. Her MS and PhD are
from University of California, Santa Barbara in Computer Engineering.
