High-Performance Computing and Machine Learning is a unique course in Cyprus (former Simulation and Data Science MSc) that combines computational modeling, large-scale simulations, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and their applications across disciplines. Digitalization and advanced instruments and sensors are producing unprecedentedly large amounts of data that need large-scale computing to analyze. At the same time, the availability of exascale computers is creating new opportunities for studying complex systems using large-scale simulations.
All disciplines, such as environmental, biological, chemical, physical sciences, finance and economics, engineering, and the humanities need to use computational and data science-based approaches to address the current and future data challenges. Simulation and machine learning are also widely used methodologies for SMEs and the industry at large. The program also aims to introduce students to novel computer architectures, such as quantum computers, that can be developed as the computing systems of the future.
The Master of Science (MSc) in High-Performance Computing and Machine Learning is a program that provides a unique interdisciplinary approach to solving critically important problems, using computational modeling, applied mathematics, simulation approaches, and machine learning and computing methodologies with applications in a very broad of fields such as the physical sciences, engineering, and biology. Through modeling, simulation, machine learning, and the study of specific phenomena via computer analysis, students will learn to apply computation and data science to gain new insights.
The program is accredited by The Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education.
