Introduction |
||
| Data Science is the art of generating insight, knowledge and predictions by processing of data gathered about a system or a process. Computational Science is the art of developing validated (simulation) models in order to gain a better understanding of a phenomenon (system’s or processes). Computational sciences focus on development of causal models using latent patterns in the observed data, rather than only extracting patterns or knowledge from data by statistical methods. |
||
| Objective of the Program | ||
| To produce professionals with deep knowledge and innovative analytical and computational research skills to handle problems in a variety of domains including governance, finance, security, transportation, healthcare, energy management, agriculture, population studies, weather prediction, economics, social sciences, predictive maintenance, structural health monitoring, smart manufacturing and computational structural biology. |
