Faculty represent a range of disciplines including but not limited to organizational behavior, economics, information systems, machine learning, operations research, and statistics. Heinz College houses research centers that enable deep engagement with organizations (see the PwC Center at https://www.cmu.edu/risk-reg-center/) and policymakers (see the Block Center at https://www.cmu.edu/block-center/) concerned with the future of work. The college also has close ties via research centers, student advising, and faculty collaborations with the Tepper School of Business, Department of Machine Learning, and the Department of Social and Decision Sciences at the Dietrich College.
