Program Overview

Dottorato in DATA SCIENCE

Introduction

The Data Science is an interdisciplinary field of study that has emerged in recent years to offer methodological tools and technologies necessary for the management and analysis of big data and their valorization in industry, services, and research. The phenomenon of big data has revolutionized numerous sectors of economic and social activity. The phenomenon of big data has also profoundly modified research methodologies and the development of technological innovation in numerous disciplines and applications.

Objective

The main objective of this PhD in Data Science is the realization of interdisciplinary research projects that lead to the development of innovative methodologies and technologies based on the use of big data in the following fields of application:

• Piattaforme digitali avanzate
