Partner für Data-Analytics: Prof. Dr. Dieter Heermann, Professor für Theoretische Physik mit dem Forschungsfokus auf Theoretische Biophysik an der Universität Heidelberg und Gründer von Byte-Data-Analytics.

Er ist ehem. CIO und Vizerektor für Forschung der Universität Heidelberg sowie Mitglied des International Advisory Board der Shanghai Jiao Tong University und des International Evaluation Board der Karls-Universität Prag.

Mit Byte-Data-Analytics fokussiert er auf wirkungsvolle, datenreiche Lösungen als Grundlage, um vorhandene Kenntnisse zu erweitern und die Werthaltigkeit von Daten nutzbar zu machen. Hierbei steht insbesondere derjenige Wert der Daten im Fokus, der sich aus der Art und Weise, wie und durch wen diese Daten miteinander verbunden sind, ergibt. Mit klassischen Technologien und mit Monte Carlo-Simulationen lassen sich so Tiefenkartierungen von Social Media-Aktivitäten vornehmen und deren Wirksamkeit sowie die tatsächliche Verbreitung spezifischer Informationen verstehen.
