The DME (Data-driven Management Engineering) Lab at UNIST stands out with its unique approach to exploring key questions around science and technology at the intersection of Economics of Innovation, Technology Management, and Data Science. We specialize in developing and applying big data analytic algorithms and causal inference techniques to uncover causal links between key factors within the innovation ecosystem.
