Abstract Title: The future of computational and data science
Abstract: Physics as a discipline has been on the leading edge of computational and data science since these fields were conceived.  The evolution of computational science as a means of scientific exploration, as well as the emergence of data science as a field in its own right, has occurred very rapidly over the past decade. This trend is virtually guaranteed to continue through the 2020s.  I will focus on the recent past and on the future of these fields, using case studies taken from recent scientific advances.  In addition, I will make some suggestions on what these trends mean in terms of the training that STEM students will need to be successful in the future.
