The Curtin Institute for Computation (CIC)
Data Science now fundamentally underpins the majority of internationally competitive research across all fields and disciplines. As the demand for data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence and computational skills has grown, so too has the need for a dedicated institute that can support the research community.
The Curtin Institute for Computation (CIC) was established to meet this increasing demand for computational modelling, data analytics, and visualisation. It initiates and fosters collaborative, interdisciplinary research and education programs with researchers.
Our computational specialists assist in applying computational methods across the sciences, engineering, social sciences, health science, business, and the humanities to provide innovative solutions to complex problems.
The CIC is a core underpinning of Curtin’s Digital Transformation space.
