Center for Business Data Analytics(cbsBDA) at the Department of Digitalization of the Copenhagen Business School conducts transdisciplinary basic research at the socio-technical intersections of computer science and social science with specific applications to managers in companies, teachers in schools and residents in cities.
cbsBDA's basic research program is aimed at modelling and explaining socio-technical interactions using set theory. Our applied research program seeks to design, develop and evaluate big data analytics applications for managers (descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics), teachers (teaching analytics and learning analytics), and citizens (public health analytics).
Our current research, education, and consulting focuses on Big Social Data Analytics, GPS Analysis, Building Usage Analytics, and Bitcoin Blockchain Analytics.
cbsBDA aspires to conduct engaged scholarship in the Pasteur's Quadrant.
Our objective is not only to make seminal contributions to scientific knowledge as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications but also to create practical applications that yield meaningful facts, actionable insights, valuable outcomes, and sustainable impacts for organizations and society.

Physical infrastructure of cbsBDA is in the form of one large room that houses on-premises servers and the eye-tracking equipment. Meeting rooms and open spaces for research purposes are available from the Department of Digitalization and the central building facilities of CBS.
cbsBDA's IT infrastructure comprises of an on-premises High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster consisting of 256 CPU cores, 1792 GB RAM, and 332 TB storage on the 1Gbps Danish Research Network with an additional Microsoft Azure HPC cloud solution. Further, there are several standalone virtual servers provisioned by CBS IT, and custom AWS cloud solutions for ongoing research and student projects.
Scientific instrumentation at cbsBDA consists of a desktop eye-tracker (SMI RED 60Hz), eye-tracking glasses (SMI ETG-2), EEG headsets (Emotiv 16-channels), EDR wrist bands and several large-screen and high-resolution displays (3x84-inches display at 4K, 27-inches display at 5K, 8x 34-inch curved ultrawide monitors).
