On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, the Massive Data Institute of the McCourt School of Public Policy will host the MDI Scholars Research Showcase Spring 2025. MDI Scholars will present their research in the Healey Family Student Center Social Room at Georgetown University from 1:00-2:30 pm, followed by a reception.
The event begins with formal remarks by McCourt School of Public Policy Dean Thomas DeLeire and Massive Data Institute Director Lisa Singh followed by student project teams presenting “flash talks” — a 60-second summary of their research. After the flash talks, MDI Scholar project teams will present their research posters. The program will be followed by a reception.
