Courses

Application of knowledge discovery and data mining tools and techniques to large data repositories or data streams. This project-based capstone course provides students with a framework in which students gain both understanding and insight into the application of knowledge discovery tools and principles on data within the student's cognate area. This course is intended for data science majors only.

Topics in high performance computing (HPC). Topics will be selected from the following: parallel processing, computer arithmetic, processes and operating systems, memory hierarchies, compilers, run time environment, memory allocation, preprocessors, multi-cores, clusters, and message passing. Introduction to the design, analysis, and implementation, of high-performance computational science and engineering applications.

A team-based learning experience that gives students the opportunity to synthesize prerequisite course material and to conduct real-world analytics projects using large data sets of diverse types and sources. Students work in independent teams to design, implement, and evaluate an appropriate data integration, analysis, and display system. Oral and written reports and ethical aspects are highlighted.

Alfa Heryudono has been with the UMass Dartmouth Department of Mathematics since 2008. He received his BS in Physics from the University of Indonesia in 2000, M.S. in Mathematics from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2002, and PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Delaware in 2008. From 2010 until 2012, He was a Marie Curie Visiting Research Fellow at the Department of Scientific Computing at Uppsala University in Sweden. His research interests include numerical methods for function approximations and partial differential equations, scientific computing, mathematical modeling, and applied computing problems in engineering and industry. Heryudono's research is supported by Marie Curie FP7 EU, NSF, and ONR. He initiated a Mathematical and Computational Consulting (MC2) course as part of university study learning through engagement category to train students in analyzing and working on research problems solicited from local research groups and industries. His university services include the Math Dept Assessment coordinator, the Data Science MS program co-director, and the EAS PhD program co-director. Heryudono is a SIAM (Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics) member and an associate editor of the Journal of Approximation Software (JAS).
