Bloomberg recently announced that Namyong Park, a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science Department, was selected for its Data Science Ph.D. Fellowship.

The fellowship provides a $35,000 stipend, offers $5,000 to cover travel to professional conferences for the 2021-2022 school year, and can be renewed for up to three years. Park will also have a Bloomberg mentor and complete a 14-week paid summer internship at Bloomberg.

Park's research centers on developing tools to better understand how real-world dynamic networks evolve over time and to spot anomalies in them. This research could lead to a better understanding and use of real-world data, including temporal knowledge graphs and financial transaction networks.

The Bloomberg Data Science Ph.D. Fellowship started in 2018. Park and Chirag Gupta are part of its most recent cohort. Shruti Rijhwani, a Ph.D. candidate in the Language Technologies Institute, received it in 2018.
