Introducing the List of BIPOC (black, indigenous and people of color) in MDSS Research
Dear Colleagues,
In an effort to broaden visibility for BIPOC academic scholars in the Mathematics of Data, Signals, and Systems (MDSS), we have created a list for scholars to self-identify and share their research areas with the community. We especially encourage young scholars to join who have recently received or soon expect to receive their PhD. The list and sign-up can be found here:
https://us-mdss-research-lists.github.io/us-BIPOC-in-MDSS-research/
We were inspired by the Women in US Academic Research in Robotics list, and like them we hope that many such lists will be created to recognize the diversity of contributors to all fields of research and development.
The areas of signal processing, machine learning, control, computer vision, and communications require math-heavy expertise and span electrical engineering and computer science as well as other disciplines. We believe these specialities are not currently covered by other similar lists, though we expect to overlap with lists of researchers in computing, AI, robotics, and STEM more generally.
Please feel free to share this email widely so that people can sign up.
warm regards,
the organizers
