Professorship for Information Systems, in particular Data Science

Organisational unit: Professoship

Organisation profile

The Business Informatics working group, in particular Data Science, headed by Prof Dr Burkhardt Funk, is dedicated to the development and application of data-driven methods for decision support in companies and public institutions.

Main research areas

The research focus lies on the use of data science and machine learning to analyse large amounts of data in order to optimise processes and decisions. A central topic is the development of intelligent systems that support decisions through data-based predictions. Fields of application include healthcare and various operational functions (e.g. marketing, accounting). We have developed approaches for predicting the effectiveness and personalisation of healthcare interventions, methods for extracting knowledge from documents (business documents, scientific papers) and for optimal budget allocation in marketing.
