Data Science & Modelling Research Group

An interdisciplinary early-career research initiative at Jordan University College, Morogoro, bringing together mathematics, data science, statistical analysis, and mathematical modelling.

Research at the intersection of mathematics, data and society.

The JUCo Data Science & Modelling Research Group is an interdisciplinary initiative designed to introduce early-career researchers to quantitative research, statistical analysis, computational methods, and mathematical modelling.

The group provides a collaborative environment where students and researchers can develop practical research skills while working on problems relevant to higher education, health, wellbeing, and sustainable development.
