About Us

Zen Data Science

Our Philosophy

We believe that a standardized software environment that everybody can easily and rapidly install on its computer could make science and data science more reproducible. We build the SciViews Box, based on a stable live Linux and VirtualBox with that idea in mind.

We develop R packages
for biologists

Our main work at the EcoNum lab concerns the oceans. We study plankton and corals. As such, we know the tools biologists need in their everyday work, and try hard to match these needs.

Software for Data Science

At the University of Mons (UMONS, Belgium) we are in charge of the whole cursus in Data Science for Biologists. In this context, we create material and software for teaching Data Science.
We study the ecophysiology of corals under changing conditions. We also develop methods to automatically classify numerical images of plankton with Zoo/PhytoImage.
We develop solutions, mainly using R. Fors instance, PASTECS (Package for the Analysis of Space-Time Ecological Series) was funded by IFREMER, and AURELHY (spatial interpolation using relief information) was funded by FAO.
