Our Consultancy Services
Although we are primarily an academic group, we also offer some consultancy services. Things we can typically provide include:
Custom Data Science and Machine Learning courses for your company.
Custom Deep-Learning courses for your company.
Custorm Carbonate Reservoir Courses.
Interpret or generate data and write a report.
Develop machine learning solutions for your company.
Act as an adviser on the above topics.
Provide clumped isotope analysis (minimum number of samples apply).
Those services are provided directly by the Dr Cedric John, head of the John Lab. If necessary, other lab members can also be included in the work.
Consultancy work is normally negociated via our patners at Imperial Consultants. This implies that larger projects, with several academics from different departments, can also be setup.
