Researchers from both organisations will work together on the programme alongside co-funded research fellows and software engineers. In addition, Intel will dedicate a hardware architecture team at the Institute’s facilities so that algorithms developed by The Alan Turing Institute feed into the design of Intel’s future generations of microprocessors.
Christian Morales, corporate vice president and general manager Intel EMEA, said: “With the right combination of people and technology, Big Data has the potential to solve big problems in public health, medicine, science, agriculture and engineering.”
As well as conducting research, the partnership will train a new generation of data scientists through The Alan Turing Institute’s doctoral programme, ensuring students are equipped with the latest data science techniques, tools, and methodologies.
Both organisations will work together to raise awareness of the importance and potential of data science and algorithms.
Professor Andrew Blake, director of The Alan Turing Institute, said: “The goal of The Alan Turing Institute is to drive scientific and technological discoveries in the use of big data and algorithms, which will create new business opportunities, and accelerate solutions to global challenges.We have, today, taken a significant step towards that goal.”
