To develop fundamental methods and techniques for Big Data analysis in order to address the challenges that the digital revolution has brought to our society: these are the aims of the course, which prepares a new generation of physicists able to combine advanced knowledge in the field of physics with high-level training in the new science of data. While physics can interpret natural phenomena whose complexity requires the collection, management and analysis of large quantities of data, there is an increasingly strong need to train professionals who can also develop methods and techniques for such analysis. As a “data physicist”, you will receive advanced training in physics, mathematics, and computing and computational techniques, and you will be able to find employment in a wide range of contexts, such as academic institutions, research centres, companies in the digital market and consultancy, start-ups and high-tech industries.
