Programme Structure
Research areas:
- MACHINE LEARNING & ANALYTICS
Machine learning and artificial intelligence are shaping the current and future practices in business management and decision making.
- STOCHASTIC MODELING AND SIMULATION
Stochastic modeling and its primary computational tool, simulation, are both essential components of Operations Research that are built upon probability, statistics, and stochastic processes.
- FINANCIAL ENGINEERING & RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial engineering (FE) is a highly interdisciplinary field that makes use of the theoretical developments in financial economics, applied mathematics, operations research, statistics and computer science.
- OPTIMIZATION
Optimization theory and algorithms are foundational building blocks of Operations Research and Data Science.
- OPERATIONS
The goal of operations management (OM) is to leverage mathematical models, algorithms, and analysis tools to understand and optimize key operations problems.
