The cluster connects Educational Psychology, Information Science, Cognitive Science, Public Health, and the Humanities around shared questions about how AI and data-intensive systems can support better decisions and practices in education and human development, with attention to interpretability, trust, and real-world effectiveness, including mental health, wellness, and learning. With its twelve undergrad and graduate degree programs, and with a set of interdisciplinary scholars engaged in research across areas like data science, information science, library science, game development, cyberoperations, and more, the unit provides a supportive environment for faculty working across fields and disciplines.
