The IACR offers workshops every semester that cover topics such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Data Science, Generative AI, and Programming Languages like R and Python. The Institute also offers consultation and collaboration opportunities covering a wide range of specializations in the broad context of AI. Here are some examples of the student-led projects from Summer ’25.
The IACR’s Education and Outreach group is led by Indrani Mandal and includes Cecile Cres, Joan Peckham, Yan Sun, Karen Lokey and Amanda Jenson. A quick snapshot of the IACR resources is available here: IACR at-a-glance.
