Image of the Centre for Data Analytics

The mission of the Centre for Data Analytics is to establish Bond University as a leading research hub, through (i) outreach and research collaboration, (ii) expansion of the quality and quantity of research output, and through (iii) the development of training and technology aimed at strengthening our current research programs and engagement with industry. A cross-disciplinary approach is critical to Big Data solutions because the field is at the intersection of numerous traditional disciplines.

Consequently, members of the Centre have expertise in big data from a variety of disciplines: actuarial science, finance, statistics, economics and informatics. Centre members also have a proven track-record applying their expertise in application domains including sports analytics, fraud detection, medicine, demography, finance, sustainability and climatology to list a few
