Reflecting and Shaping the Digital Age
The CDS combines the method-oriented research areas of data science and scientific computing with data- and simulation-driven domain sciences. The four methodological domains constitute the central building blocks of the CDS. These are connected and integrated via five cross-sectoral scientific domains, which correspond to focal research areas of UoC characterized by scientific excellence and a particular requirement for data-driven approaches. The organizational structure of the CDS is complemented by the Scholarly Platform Reflecting and Shaping the Digital Age. The platform provides an open space for the exploration of societal, ethical, and legal implications of artificial intelligence and transformation processes in the digital age. The two overarching core research fields, High-Performance Computing and Scientific Machine Learning, are specifically represented by two dedicated laboratories, the HPC Lab and the SciML Lab.
