Congratulations to my former university Imperial College London (ICL) for opening the UK’s premier Data Science Institute. I completed an MSc in Mathematical Finance at ICL in 2005-2006 and very much chose the university then because of its forward looking and proximity to the city’s financial heartbeat.

Great to see ICL is continuing its tradition of innovating and embracing new paradigms of learning. Am in no doubt this institute will go on to be one of the leading centres for data science in Europe.
