Website

The Computational Policy Lab (CPL) uses technology to tackle pressing issues in criminal justice, education, voting rights, and beyond. Leveraging advances in data science, CPL studies the impact of policy choices at unprecedented scales, and builds algorithmic tools to guide high-stakes decisions. By bringing a computational perspective to public policy, CPL aims to improve the lives of millions of people — especially those affected by inefficient and unfair systems and practices.
