Meet our Fellows
Our Data Science Fellows are recent grads who are passionate about public service. We train and send them to Inspector General offices across the oversight community to work on projects with our partners.
Our Fellows are the future of oversight: innovating, analyzing, and automating to create new uses of data science for the public good.
"I was excited for the opportunity to use data science to restore public trust. I feel like trust in our government has been at a low point. Through this fellowship, I can be part of a positive change."
- Claire Stabile, Department of Transportation OIG
"If you want to do data work that matters and isn’t profit or data-collection driven, this is a great opportunity."
- Philip Nelson, Department of Health and Human Services OIG
