Data Science Foundations

Fionn Murtagh's very first post after his PhD was educational research at a national level, followed by nuclear energy risk assessment. He then worked for a dozen years on the Hubble Space Telescope, as a European Space Agency Senior Scientist. Following many Professor of Computer Science positions, teaching and research, and senior management positions in Ireland, France, USA and UK, he is very happy now to be advancing data science as Professor of Data Science, and Director, Centre for Mathematics and Data Science, at the University of Huddersfield.
