More about data science

Research in data science covers many areas in both mathematical theory and applications.

Research topics include

  • Robust estimation and recovery problems
  • Optimization
  • High-dimensional statistics
  • Manifold learning and modeling
  • Deep learning
  • Computer vision and imaging
  • Economics
  • Graph-based learning
  • Data assimilation
  • PDEs and machine learning

The data science group also has numerous interactions with other departments through the University of Minnesota's Data Science Initiative and with other universities.
