Our aims
- To conduct research in key areas of data analysis relevant to QIB’s science programme
- To provide resources in applied statistics, mathematical programming and data handling
- To collaborate with partners across academia and industry, in the UK and internationally
Our research focuses on selected areas of applied data analysis. These include multivariate analysis, especially of spectral data – NMR, Infrared, Mass Spectrometry. IFR has for many years invested in analytical technologies (NMR, FT-IR, MS, GC/MS, LC/MS), and has also embraced the post-genomic era (transcriptomics, proteomics). The data produced by all of these are megavariate – several thousand numerical values generated from each specimen examined. Advanced computational methods are essential in handling this kind of data; dealing with output from these diverse methodologies has driven our work in recent years.
