How the field of data science and analytics has developed will be reviewed in the presentation “Data Science and Analytics Opportunities in Academia and Industry Across Disciplines” by Dr. Joaquin Carbonara, a research professor of Mathematics at SUNY Buffalo State, on Wednesday, Feb. 26, at noon in Williams Center Room G103B.
Dr. Carbonara, who directs the interdisciplinary unit Data Science and Analytics M.S. program at Buffalo State, will discuss how businesses and universities are taking advantage of this field to revamp their infrastructure, reorganize their leadership, optimize their operations, increase their revenues and impact society.
“The field has reached enough maturity to start bringing significant revenues and advantages to both academia and industry,” Carbonara observed.
