I joined the graduate diploma in mathematics program developed by London School of Economics and obtained the qualification in 2019.

A book chapter: renewable energy, climate change and sustainability

Why I chose the Master in Applied Data Science
Zakariya Abu-Grin
I have always been interested in computers, but I ended up studying petroleum engineering. A main reason for this is that the oil industry was one of few options in my country Libya with international exposure. My dream has always been to have a fast-growing career, work with different people and travel to different countries.

Nowcasting Inflation: Machine Learning to resolve the classification challenge?

Lukas Henkel
