Remote sensing imageOur research is focussed on delivering 'smarter information use' - helping organisations use information in smarter ways. Our research responds to the real needs of information intensive industries. We partner with organisations to help define and solve information use challenges and create real impact such as improved healthcare services or higher factory throughput.

Our focus stems from an expectation that advanced mathematical, computational and statistical know-how can generate quantitative information products and services that add real value for Australian organisations.

Researchers at CSIRO Mathematics, Informatics and Statisticshave an impressive track record of research achievement in computation, mathematics and statistics, and world-class skills in:

  • Data analysis - 'mining' data to extract useful information
  • Modelling - creating numerical 'pictures' of processes to better understand them
  • Simulation - testing different scenarios using statistical or mathematics models
  • Optimisation - finding the best operating conditions for a process

A special area of expertise is in dealing with large, complex systems that can't be understood by traditional means. To complement our expertise, we often partner with other researchers in CSIRO - drawing on a breadth of knowledge that is one of CSIRO's strengths.

We also collaborate with leading computational, mathematical and statistical researchers in Australia and around the world.
