Data to Intelligence Research Centre

About us

D2I brings together computer scientists, mathematicians and engineers. Our research is multidisciplinary and includes solving industrial and theoretical research problems. Our aim is to build data and process-driven models and intelligent algorithms to solve real-world problems.

We use advanced data science technologies and theoretical approaches for automatic data analysis, planning and decision-making to solve problems in the domains of health, food, agriculture, defence, energy, environment, finance and education.
