Data Science
“Data” as a subject introduces major economic, cultural and social challenges, from new business models to the protection of personal data. Each of the functions of a business, from finance to HR, can study these challenges from their own viewpoint. But it is relevant to develop a forum where each of these specialties can meet and compare their approach to develop transversal methods and projects, and possibly a common vision. In particular, the research team aims at becoming a vehicle for corporate partnerships with the school, where collecting and using data become central dimensions in business strategy.
Business Analytics
The research team performs basic and applied research for solving complex problems arising in Decision Systems. The focus is on computational intelligence approaches and optimization methodologies tailored to specific practical applications such as finance, real economy, education, logistics/transportation, customer service, manpower planning or yield/revenue management.
