01 — Our work
Projects
Software, data pipelines, dashboards, and AI tools built with researchers, nonprofits, and public-interest partners.
- AI & Machine Learning
- Partnerships
Schmidt AI in Science Partnership
The Schmidt AI in Science Fellowship Core Facility Team partners with the AI in Science Schmidt Fellows across the full lifecycle of their research software, from early design decisions to preparing code for public release.
- 11th Hour Project
Partnership with The 11th Hour Project
The DSI Development Core serves as a centralized hub for software and data science for 11th Hour Project grantees. DSI research staff work to lower the barriers to mission-driven data science through education, consultation, project-based applications and collaboration.

Center for Living Systems × DSI
The AI+ Quantitative Imaging Shared Facility of the Center for Living Systems (CLS) is a cutting-edge initiative that accelerates advances in microscopy image processing and quantitative analysis. Its mission is to empower life science researchers through the integration of computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and deep learning into the imaging pipeline.

Buoy Location Prediction and Anomaly Detection Pipeline
A prediction and anomaly-detection pipeline for Blue Ocean Gear’s smart fishing buoys, combining buoy telemetry with ocean-condition data to flag gear that has broken free or gone under.
- 11th Hour Project
- Finance
DeBIT
DeBIT (Development Bank Investment Tracker) is an open source database of development project loans collected from 17 multilateral development banks and sovereign wealth funds. It promotes corporate accountability by allowing local communities harmed by development projects to search for the banks funding those projects and then target them in their campaigns for reform.

- Public Interest
Environmental Complaint Submission Pipeline
The environmental complaint submission pipeline extends the functionality of FracTracker’s mobile app, which allows registered users to document potentially harmful encroachment of wells, pipelines, trains, refineries, landfills, mines, pits, and compressors within their local communities.
- Environment
Disintegration Data Dashboard
DSI engineers partnered with CREF to standardize their datasets and store them in a database.
- 11th Hour Project
- Environment
Palmwatch
Since 2000, industrial palm oil mills have caused 47 percent of the deforestation in Indonesia — fueling global climate change and displacing communities in the process.

ICONIC Oceans Data Hub
DeBIT (Development Bank Investment Tracker) is an open source database of development project loans collected from 17 multilateral development banks and sovereign wealth funds. It promotes corporate accountability by allowing local communities harmed by development projects to search for the banks funding those projects and then target them in their campaigns for reform.

Reusable Foodware System Design
DSI engineers built a data pipeline allowing Perpetual, a zero-waste nonprofit, to determine optimal locations for foodware recycling bins in any city based on weighted distances to popular points of interest. The pipeline was later extended to determine optimal pick-up and drop-off routes given a set number of vehicles with limited carrying capacities.
- 11th Hour Project
- Finance
Shareholder Tracker
An online database of corporate stock investments scraped from quarterly SEC 13F filings, letting human rights advocates follow the money behind harmful development projects.
- Geospatial
- Public Interest
Tax Credit Bonuses Map
The Tax Credit Bonus Map allows users to search for a geography by name and find clean energy tax credit programs that communities in the area may qualify for under the Inflation Reduction Act.
- 11th Hour Project
- Data Science Clinic
People and Pesticide Explorer
The California People and Pesticides Explorer makes it easy to view, map, and download California’s pesticide use report data alongside community demographics, from townships to zip codes and counties.
