+Currently, the lab is pursuing the following projects: [**Modular Deep Learning**](https://lab-design.github.io/projects.html#modular-deep-learning), which investigates the decomposition of deep neural networks into modules to enable reuse, replacement, and independent evolution of those modules, [**Boa**](http://boa.cs.iastate.edu), a domain-specific language and infrastructure for mining software repositories and [**D4**](https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1934884&HistoricalAwards=false) (Dependable Data-Driven Discovery), which works on understanding of the risks to the dependability of data-science lifecycles, to formalize the rigorous mathematical basis of the measures of dependability for data-science lifecycles, and to identify mechanisms to create dependable data-science lifecycles.

While active work is not ongoing on these projects, interested students may propose collaborative ideas that we would continue to consider.
