Geoscience

Using data-driven and optimization methods for earth sciences, environmental modeling, and geospatial analysis.

Our Mission

The LABIA research group is a team at the Department of Computer Science from the Institute of Computing, Federal University of Bahia, Brazil, created with the purpose of developing high-quality research in several complementary domains.

We study automatic knowledge acquisition; theory, models, and algorithms for different optimization problems; analysis of big data and temporal systems; and intelligent allocation of computing resources.

The group is focused on the investigation and development of methods to address both complex real-world and theoretical problems to which traditional computational approaches cannot be applied very successfully.

Interdisciplinary Approach

We combine expertise from computational intelligence, optimization, and data science to tackle problems that span multiple disciplines.

International Collaboration

Our faculty has research experience at institutions across Canada, China, and Spain, fostering a global perspective in our work.

Student Opportunities

We welcome MSc., PhD, and Postdoc students interested in joining our research. Check our admission program for details.
