Message From The Department Head

Welcome to the Data Science Department—where we turn raw data into insights, algorithms into solutions, and yes, coffee into statistical models!

As your Chairperson, my mission is to help you navigate the world of data analytics, AI, and statistical modeling—because let’s face it, the world runs on data (and maybe a few well-placed if-statements). Whether you're here to crunch numbers, predict trends, or just figure out why your dataset has 1,000 missing values, know that you're in the right place.

So stay curious, trust the data, and always remember—correlation is not causation, but a good dataset is priceless! Let’s decode the future together.

Albert Christopher Daniot II, MDS

Chairperson, Data Science Department, USTP
