"ScientX" Chair

The "Data Scientist" Chair was created in 2014 to address the shortage of specialists in big data amidst the dramatic surge in data production, now a major technological, economic and organizational challenge for companies. This Teaching and Research Chair, launched by École Polytechnique, its Foundation, Keyrus, Orange and Thales, also encourages innovative and original research in data science with applications in big data, through strong collaboration between key players in the fields of computer science, applied mathematics and economics. It is supported by Erwan Le Pennec, associate professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics at l’X.
