The DISCUS team comprises of research faculty, postdoctoral research fellows, postgraduate research students and masters students from Mathematics, Informatics, Physics & Astronomy, and Engineering. Research interests cover computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematical modelling and management of large data sets of particle physics and astronomy data, and many more areas.

The key driver common among researchers is their prowess and passion for data intensive science, having tackled problems of similar nature repeatedly in their careers.

Their ability to translate and analyse data research questions through computational algorithms and techniques, along with their diversity, gives the centre a strong foundation to solve data-driven problems from a wide range of disciplines.
