INTRODUCTION Paolo Dai Pra INTRODUCTION Paolo Dai Pra INTRODUCTION
Why a new Master in Data Science? High volumes of data emerging in many different context led to the development of new methodologies to: Explore and organize the structure of available data. Identify sources of noise, distortion and uncertainty. Create and test models. Identify objectives and possible strategies, using data analysis to draw conclusions. Visualize and communicate results to specialists and non-specialists alike. This suggest a multidisciplinary approach, involving computer science and engineering, statistics, mathematics as well as those scientific contexts in which data emerge: economics, life sciences, cognitive sciences...
Why in Padova? Research involving Data Science and applications is particularly rich and diversified in Padova, involving also cooperation with private firms and public institutions. Computer science and engineering: data and process mining, networks, security... Statistics: analysis of economic data, biostatistics and bioinformatics, environmental statistics... Mathematics: stochastic models, large scale optimization and computational methods, topological data analysis... Other topics: neuroscience, computational biology, human-computer interaction, cognitive sciences...
Admission The number of students admitted to the program is restricted as follows: EU students and non-eu students with residency in Italy: 40 Non-EU students resident abroad: 10 (call for admission closed) CALL FOR ADMISSION OPEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1st The Master in Data Science welcomes students with different background: Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Economics... Selection is based on student s curriculum.
