About CSSLab
Created in March 2021 as a joint venture of the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Annenberg School for Communication, and the Wharton School, the Computational Social Science Lab seeks novel, replicable insights into societally relevant problems by applying computational methods to large-scale data. Through our research infrastructure, industry partnerships, and network of collaborators, we also aim to facilitate progress in computational social science more generally.
About Computational Social Science
Computational social science is a rapidly emerging field at the intersection of social science and computer science. It balances the insight and research methodology of the former with the powerful analytical tools of the latter, allowing for deeper exploration of society’s most pressing questions.
