How Our Students Can Help Your Organisation

Expecting data science to solve a problem is not enough

In many applications it is vital to be able to explain how and why artificial intelligence works to make informed decisions. Our students are excellent at what is called “explainable AI’. We train them to be critical and reach that bit further to fully understand scientific questions, not just methodological processes; resulting in exciting possibilities by fusing different perspectives to create new ways of looking at things.

Industry Examples

Healthcare

Our students have used data science to help health services improve patient flow and bed management and explore how social media influences self-harm.

Aviation

Our students worked on a project that allowed airlines to capture, analyse, and share data on air turbulence.

Arctic Voyage

Further North, our students worked on a big data and data management project combining ice monitoring and weather forecasting to optimise Arctic voyage planning.
