Research Opportunities for Students

The student’s salary is paid by the Institute in exchange for providing the opportunity and mentoring of the student by either UH faculty or the external organization. The HPE Data Science Institute assists in the recruiting of the student.
UH faculty or external organizations should contact Claudia Neuhauser, Ph.D., Director of the HPE Data Science Institute (cmneuhau@central.uh.edu) if interested in sponsoring a student.
