About the School of Data Science

Data is garbage until one knows what to do with it! The rapidly evolving field of data science empowers individuals to analyze, interpret and visualize data to improve decision-making. The interdisciplinary philosophy of IISER Thiruvananthapuram is a perfect environment to incubate the freshly designed i2-data sciences program offered at the School of Data Sciences.

Mission and Vision

Starting from the Mathematical and Statistical foundations, we train our students with intuitive, theoretical and computational aspects of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. The comprehensive, generic form of the course enables students to apply their knowledge in diverse domains of application such as Business analytics, Biomedical informatics, Natural and Engineering Sciences, etc. We not only prepare students to develop a career in industry but also guide them with an outlook in state-of-the-art research in the field, including exposure to scientific writing, research outlook, conferences and hands-on workshops. Moreover, we are also open to collaboration and consultation with industries and academia. We offer project supervisory roles for undergraduate and postgraduate candidates from across India.

We are dedicated to empowering our students by providing them with outstanding computational and technical resources, access to cutting-edge research facilities, exposure to the industrial world, and ample placement opportunities. Our vision is aligned with the noble goal of nation-building, as we aim to supply both our nation's industry and academia with a pool of talented and innovative young minds.
