SRI Seminar Series: Rohan Alexander, University of Toronto

The weekly SRI Seminar Series welcomes Rohan Alexander for a special in-person talk that will also be broadcast online. Alexander is an assistant professor at the University of Toronto jointly appointed in the Faculty of Information and the Department of Statistical Sciences, an assistant director of CANSSI Ontario, a senior fellow at Massey College, a faculty affiliate at the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society, and a co-lead of the Data Sciences Institute’s Thematic Program in Reproducibility.

Alexander’s research investigates how to develop workflows that improve the trustworthiness of data science. His recently published book Telling Stories With Data (Routledge, 2023) argues that a trustworthiness revolution is needed in data science, and proposes a view of what this could look like.
