Data Science

Data science is a multidisciplinary approach to extracting insights from big and increasing volumes of data. It encompasses:

  • preparing data for analysis and processing,
  • performing advanced data analysis, and
  • presenting the results to reveal patterns and enable researchers to draw informed conclusions.

Analysis requires the development and use of algorithms, analytics, and AI models.
