AN INVESTMENT TO REDEFINE WHAT'S POSSIBLE

The New Johns Hopkins Data Science and AI Institute

Johns Hopkins has made a historic commitment to build the nation’s foremost destination for emerging applications, opportunities, and challenges presented by data science, machine learning, and AI.

The new Data Science and AI Institute will include a state-of-the-art facility on the Homewood campus and an expansion of our computing resource capacity to the scale required for an initiative of this dimension.

We’re also making an unprecedented investment in people:

80 new tenure-track faculty, the largest cluster hire in the history of the Whiting School of Engineering, in the departments of Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Applied Mathematics and Statistics.

30 NEW ENDOWED CHAIRS as part of the Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships program with joint appointments across JHU divisions.

30 AI-FOCUSED RESEARCH SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS to support new engineering faculty projects.

40 NEW TENURE-TRACK FACULTY outside of AI to strengthen all engineering departments.

A PROJECTED 750 NEW PHD STUDENTS across all areas of engineering.

Johns Hopkins University

The nation’s first research university never stops evolving.

Johns Hopkins University’s history is rooted in multidisciplinary collaboration and discovery.
‍It's a legacy of academic excellence and societal impact that spans nearly 150 years. In that time, we’ve defined and redefined the limits of innovation, developed the research that’s advanced our civilization, and discovered new worlds beyond and within our own.

We've helped change humankind for the better.

And that's just the beginning.

Johns Hopkins leads all U.S. universities in R&D spending—with a record-breaking $3.4 billion in the last fiscal year.

We’ve already begun mapping the future of collaboration. For example, we partner with the School of Medicine to bring the benefits and potential of data science and AI to health and medicine. We offer collaborative research awards and fellowships with the Applied Physics Laboratory. And we’ve created opportunities to apply the power of data to issues of democracy and evidence-based policy through JHU’s new School of Government and Policy and the SNF Agora Institute.

“It's not hyperbole

to say that data and AI…have vast potential to revolutionize critical areas of discovery and will increasingly shape nearly every aspect of the world we live in.”
