DeAngelo is a prime example of how CGU faculty
work with graduates to ignite solutions to broad
challenges. Under DeAngelos leadership,

the Computational Justice Lab (CJL) uses data
science tools to help local prosecutors and law
enforcement agencies improve outcomes and create
a positive impact on judicial actions. There is a
difference between the way laws are written and
how theyre applied, DeAngelo explained. The lab
is attempting a new way to address those
differences. While the legal system is considered
a cause-and-effect situation, for DeAngelo, it
has become both a calling and a career track.
Im not, like, a real economist, he said. When
people think of an economist, they tend to think
of financial economists. Im not one of those.
Im a micro-economist, one of the technical
mathy types. One who loves to crunch reams of
data to benefit the greater public good.
