The Department of Data Science at IISER Pune explores theoretical and methodological aspects of data-driven inquiry across scientific disciplines. The department’s academic offerings emphasize both conceptual understanding and computational practice, preparing students to engage with large-scale, heterogeneous data in both research and applied contexts. Faculty and students pursue projects spanning machine learning, statistical modeling, network science, computational biology, data-driven weather and climate modeling, and data-intensive physics, among other areas. Collaboration is central to the department’s approach—within IISER Pune as well as with other academic and industrial partners. Through its teaching and research, the department aims to foster a rigorous and open environment where data science contributes to advancing scientific knowledge and methodology.
