At the University of Miami, Dr. Yelena Yesha is the Knight Foundation Endowed Chair of Data Science and AI at the Frost Institute for Data Science and Computing (IDSC). At IDSC, Dr. Yesha is also the Director for the Machine Learning and AI program, as well as Innovation Officer and Head of International Relations. In her Innovation role, Dr. Yesha assists faculty in engaging government and industrial partners to collaborate with the University and consults with faculty on developing research ideas into innovations. Dr. Yesha was the Founding Director of the [National Science Foundation](https://www.nsf.gov/) [Center for Accelerated Real Time Analytics](https://carta.umbc.edu/) (CARTA), an NSF-funded Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) that aims to develop long-term partnerships among industry, academia, and government. CARTA partners with Rutgers University New Brunswick, North Carolina State University, the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), Tel Aviv University, and the [University of Miami](https://carta.miami.edu/ "https://carta.miami.edu/") Dr. Yesha received her B.Sc. degrees in Computer Science and in Applied Mathematics from [York University](https://www.yorku.ca/index.html), Toronto, Canada, and her M.Sc. degree and Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from [The Ohio State University](https://www.osu.edu/). She has published 11 books as author or editor, and more than 200 papers in prestigious refereed journals and refereed conference proceedings, and she has been awarded external funding in a total amount exceeding $65 million dollars. She is currently working with leading industrial companies and government agencies on new innovative technology in the areas of blockchains, cybersecurity, and big data analytics with applications to electronic commerce, climate change, and digital healthcare. Dr. Yesha is a fellow of the [IBM Centre for Advanced Studies](https://casweb.59b0587b.public.multi-containers.ibm.com/ibm/cas/canada/) Forbes magazine highlighted Dr. Yesha's accomplishments in technology in a two-part profile: Part I: [Dr. Yelena Yesha: Meet The Tenacious Pioneer Pushing Innovation To Address Real World Problems](https://www.forbes.com/sites/cognitiveworld/2018/12/12/dr-yelena-yesha-meet-the-tenacious-pioneer-pushing-innovation-to-address-real-world-problems/?sh=7b0374424e9a) and Part II: [Dr. Yelena Yesha: Pushing Technology Boundaries To Solve The World's Biggest Problems](https://www.forbes.com/sites/cognitiveworld/2019/02/20/dr-yelena-yesha-pushing-technology-boundaries-to-solve-the-worlds-biggest-problems-part-ii/?sh=d537b0a224ab)
