Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS)

At BIDS, we build meaningful connections across campus between faculty, researchers, and students -- and beyond campus with governmental and non-profit organizations.


Our community includes domain experts from the life and physical sciences, social sciences and humanities, as well as methodological experts from computer science, statistics, and applied mathematics. Your gift sustains and expands our interdisciplinary programs and our efforts to put data science capabilities in everyone’s reach through open scholarship and open source research software.


Please visit bids.berkeley.edu to learn more about BIDS activities and the leadership team, including Faculty Director Fernando Pérez’s vision for BIDS, Associate Faculty Director Tim Tangherlini’s expertise in cultural analytics, and recently appointed Executive Director Kirstie Whitaker’s dedication to the bringing together the BIDS interdisciplinary data science community.
