Beth A. Plale is Michael A. and Laurie Burns McRobbie Bicentennial Professor of Computer Engineering at Indiana University. She is known for her work on open science, trust in artificial intelligence, and the policy implications of data science.
Plale has a B.Sc. in computer science from the University of Southern Mississippi (1984). [1] She then received an M.B.A. from University of La Verne (1986) and an M.S. from Temple University (1992). In 1998 she earned her Ph.D. from State University of New York Binghamton. Following her Ph.D. she was a postdoctoral fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology. [2] In 2001, she moved to Indiana University as a tenure track professor. In 2009 she became director of the Data To Insight Center and Executive Director of the Pervasive Technology Institute in 2021. [3]
In 2013, Plale was one of the founding scientists of the Research Data Alliance, a group working to improve open access to data. [4] [5] From 2017 until 2021, Plale was a science advisor at the National Science Foundation. [2] [6]
In 2004, Plale received an early career award from the United States Department of Energy. [7] In 2006, Plale was named a senior member of the Association for Computing Machinery. [8] Plale was a keynote speaker at the 2020 PIDapalooza meeting. [6]
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is a US-based international learned society for computing. It was founded in 1947 and is the world's largest scientific and educational computing society. The ACM is a non-profit professional membership group, reporting nearly 110,000 student and professional members as of 2022. Its headquarters are in New York City.
Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines to applied disciplines. Though more often considered an academic discipline, computer science is closely related to computer programming.

Computer science education or computing education is the field of teaching and learning the discipline of computer science, and computational thinking. The field of computer science education encompasses a wide range of topics, from basic programming skills to advanced algorithm design and data analysis. It is a rapidly growing field that is essential to preparing students for careers in the technology industry and other fields that require computational skills.
Cynthia Dwork is an American computer scientist best known for her contributions to cryptography, distributed computing, and algorithmic fairness. She is one of the inventors of differential privacy and proof-of-work.
Informatics is the study of computational systems. According to the ACM Europe Council and Informatics Europe, informatics is synonymous with computer science and computing as a profession, in which the central notion is transformation of information. In some cases, the term "informatics" may also be used with different meanings, e.g. in the context of social computing, or in context of library science.
