First doctoral candidates to start at Data Science Center

In january 2014, the first doctoral candidates will start their research projects at Data Science Center Einchoven (DSC/e). Starting 2015, the new research institute and education center of TU/e will also offer study programs, but when full undergraduate and graduate programs will be launched is yet unsure.

by Frits van Otterdijk

The above was announced by prof.dr. Emile Aarts, dean of the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science. At his inaugural lecture last week, he focused on data science. Aarts used to work as an authoritative researcher at Philips, which he combined with a part-time position at TU/e. DSC/e will be launched officially on December 2, and will be led by prof.dr.ir. Wil van der Aalst. The virtual center will be embedded in the Departments of mathematics & Computer Science, Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences, Electrical Engineering, and Industrial Design. The four departments plan to collaborate with several companies. The center sets out with twenty doctoral candidates, and wants to expand to fifty. The center’s goal is to have a full data science graduate program ready within three years.

MOOC on data science revisited in April

April will see a rerun of the Massive Open Online Course on Data Science by TU/e professor Wil van der Aalst. The first edition of the MOOC, which ran from mid November to Christmas, was ‘attended’ by more than 40,000 people from over 160 countries. Striking detail: data of the participants of this MOOC and that on aerodynamics by Bert Blocken are currently being analyzed using methods taught in the data science course.

TOP funding for Mathematics & Computer Science

Three researchers of Mathematics & Computer Science will be receiving a TOP Grant. Prof.dr.ir. Onno Boxma and prof.dr.ir. Wil van der Aalst have each been awarded a grant of approximately half a million euro for the queuing theory and the search for ‘desire lines’ in Big Data. With these two grants, TU/e has landed a quarter of the major TOP Grants that NWO makes available for hard science every year. Dr. Maria Vlasiou has received a more modest TOP Grant that will allow her to finance a PhD student or postdoc.

TU/e to start Data Science Center

In December TU/e will launch the Data Science Center Eindhoven (DSC/e). The new research institute, at which several TU/e departments and business will be collaborating, will be coordinated by prof.dr.ir. Wil van der Aalst. If it’s up to the initiators of the project, TU/e will have a Data Science bachelor and master’s program in the near future.
