Linnaeus University Centre for Data Intensive Sciences and Applications
The DISA research centre at Linnaeus University focuses its efforts on open questions in collection, analysis and utilization of large data sets. With its core in computer science, it takes a multidisciplinary approach and collaborates with researchers from all faculties at the university.
Our research
In today's society, sensors, computers, communication platforms and storage technologies give us access to previously unmanageable volumes of data, so-called Big Data. The conversion of data into actionable knowledge creates new opportunities and significant economic values. Big Data has revolutionised both the commercial world and research in many areas, and has opened up for new interdisciplinary collaborations.
The Linnaeus University Centre for Data Intensive Sciences and Applications (DISA) addresses data-driven methods to gain deeper knowledge and understanding in a variety of applications in engineering, science and humanities. Research in computer science, media technology, signal processing and statistics represents the technical core of the center. Combined with research from application fields, such as astrophysics, engineering, linguistics, social science and eHealth, we create a unique dynamics.
Exploiting data to gain manageable information and useful knowledge is not a research venture alone. There is also a large collaboration interest in the industry and the public sector. DISA works closely with several clusters, networks and individual companies representing the IT and heavy vehicle industries, the health sector and municipalities and agencies. These partnerships combine excellent research with practical solutions to specific challenges in society, for the mutual benefit of researchers from different scientific disciplines and of external partners.
