From sleep analysis, brain image analysis, and health prediction models over physics language models, AI writing assistants, and image segmentation to arctic climate and food design. Witness the pervasive presence of data science in all aspects of life with the new research projects in the years to come from the 16 new DDSA PhD and Postdoc fellows. Data science is everywhere!
More than 100 people from the Danish data science environment were gathered when the 10 new DDSA PhD fellows and the 6 first DDSA Postdoc fellows and their research projects were announced at ‘Celebrating Danish Data Science’ at Utzon Center in Ålborg this summer. We are proud to support their academic pursuits and are confident in their ability to make cutting-edge discoveries within data science together with their hosting universities.
Data Science is Everywhere!
Spanning the fields of Mathematics, Bioinformatics, Human-Centered AI, Cognitive Science, Statistics, Computer Science, and Physics among others, the 16 new DDSA fellows show the wide variety in the use of data science within different academic fields and disciplines. Methods and tools are spanning deep learning, computer vision, causal interference, machine learning, text analysis, deep generative models, neural networks, quantum inspired algorithms, 3D image analysis, and natural language processing, just to mention a few.
Stay tuned as we will bring you more in-depth insights into the innovative research of these talented data scientists on the journey of advancing, shaping and growing Danish data science. In the meantime, take a sneak peek into their exciting research projects in the videos below, or take a glance at the fascinating research projects of our first 10 DDSA PhD fellows 2022.
DDSA is funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation and VILLUM FONDEN.
