The Data Analysis, Simulation, Imaging, and Visualization (DASIV) SmartState Center was established in 2017 as part of the South Carolina SmartState Program initiative. The center is affiliated with the Department of Mathematics at the University of South Carolina.
The DASIV Center's core goal is the development of relevant theoretical foundations in a scientific landscape where genuine progress increasingly depends on synthesizing classical model-based approaches, typically based on PDE models, with data-driven methods used in machine learning, compressive sensing, and statistical estimation.
