The Discrete Mathematics and Data Science (DM&DS) interdisciplinary team considers discrete and data-related interdisciplinary research topics in the broad sense.
The key areas of interest run across the intersection of common research areas of the MATHS and COMSC groups. We are interested in combinatorial, geometric, computational, algorithmic, and optimisation aspects of the mathematical research, as well as in mathematical foundations for topics in Computer Science.
Aims
Our activities are focused on promotion and enhancement of collaborations between researchers from the Schools of Mathematics and Computer Science and Informatics through organisation of seminars, workshops, and discussion groups.
We aim to bring together researchers working in different areas of Discrete Mathematics and Data Science, as well as in a number of other areas within Computer Science and related Mathematics.
Research
Our team members’ research interests currently include:
- Discrete Geometry and Geometry of Numbers
- Integer Programming
- Optimisation in Graphs and Networks
- Design and Analysis of Algorithms
- Algorithm Engineering
- Data Analysis and Data Mining
- Machine Learning
- Topological Data Analysis
