Institute of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (IPMC) was formed on the basis of the Faculty of Informatics and the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Cybernetics on July 10, 2017. Original Faculty of Applied Mathematics was established on July 3, 1970 on the basis of TSU. In the early 1980's, it was renamed to Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Cybernetics. In 1986, the Faculty of Informatics was formed as an educational and scientific complex on the basis of the Department of Programming and Informatics, the Department of Economic Cybernetics, the Laboratory of Computing Systems, and the Computing Center of TSU; in 1992 it was reorganized into the Informatics Department.

 

There are 114 teaching staff members at the Institute, including 31 professors and 55 associate professors.

 

Institute staff are actively involved in research. The main areas of research in the field of Big Data & Data Science are:

 

  • development of theoretical and technological fundamentals of artificial intelligence
  • big data preprocessing and analysis methods and models
  • machine learning and semantic data systems methods and models
  • pattern recognition and classification
  • technologies for automated detection and classification of ground and overwater objects using statistical and neural network algorithms
