I2S Student Research Symposium (ISRS)

The I2S Student Organization (ISO) is planning their second I2S Student Research Symposium (ISRS). ISRS is an opportunity for graduate students to share their research and ideas with other graduate students and faculty members. This year we will have both oral and poster presentations.  Graduate students from all academic backgrounds are invited to submit abstracts of work they have recently published, are in the process of publishing, or are works-in-progress. Submission deadline: Dec 1st, 2023.

Keynote Speaker

Tim is the Founding Data Scientist at Waterlily Planning, an early-stage startup focused on eldercare planning. In his current role, he wears multiple hats, including data science, software engineering, some product management, and a touch of UX design. Around five years ago, he made a significant career shift into the technical field. Before becoming a data scientist, he worked as a consultant at Cerner and earned a degree in business from the University of Missouri. He calls Overland Park, Kansas, his home, where he lives with my wife, a fellow KU graduate, and their three children. In his rare moments of spare time since becoming a parent, he enjoys sports, with pickleball being a current favorite, playing the drums, and volunteering at his church.

The Spirit of Industry

Abstract: "The Spirit of Industry" outlines essential values that can help you succeed in the corporate world. While these principles are not always applicable in every situation, they generally serve as useful guidelines. This talk draws from my experiences as a business consultant and data scientist, as well as my transition from academia to industry. Since industry often functions differently from academia, my goal is to help students preparing to enter the business world adjust their mindset and expectations accordingly.
