Top SchoolEric Van Dusen is a data science educator and technology lead with eight years of experience building interdisciplinary, open-source curriculum at UC Berkeley.

Eric blends applied economics and international development research with pedagogy, having taught economics through Jupyter-based Data 8 tools and led courses on reproducibility, open science, and environmental economics.
