LA&PS researcher Arik Senderovich has received new infrastructure funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) for his project on Data Analytics in Services.
The York researchers received a combined total of $745,204 from CFI’s John R. Evans Leaders Fund (JELF), which supports institutions in attracting top talent and acquiring the state-of-the-art tools and equipment necessary to enable their innovative work.
“We are grateful for CFI’s investment in our researchers, who continuously push the boundaries of art, science and technology,” said Amir Asif, vice-president research and innovation. “The John R. Evans Leaders Fund supports York’s commitment to research excellence in all its forms, including the diversity of these projects that range from developing new techniques in genetic engineering and biomolecular spectroscopy to advancing mental health studies to using [extended reality] technologies to promote greater inclusivity in the arts.”

Project: Data Analytics in Services
Amount: $76,520
CFI funding will help Senderovich establish the Data Analytics in Services (DAISE) Lab, which will focus on developing data analytics technologies to improve service systems by making them more accessible, efficient and of higher quality. A multidisciplinary team of researchers will lead efforts in areas such as responsible data science, process mining, operations management in services, as well as AI and machine learning. The lab aims to advance research from early stages to fully implementable software solutions, utilizing advanced computational power and secure storage capabilities to address real-world challenges in service systems
