Mihhail Berezovski

Mihhail Berezovski is a tenured Associate Professor of mathematical sciences and program coordinator for B.S. in Data Science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. 

For the past ten years, Mihhail Berezovski has been at the forefront of creating data science expertise, cutting-edge data science applications and techniques in domain sciences, and successful cross-disciplinary and cross-sector engagement strategies.

He implemented a sustainable and successful model that provides students with an opportunity to perform applied data science research by exposing them to problems outside of academia. The overarching learning goal is that the students will have the capability to conduct authentic data-enabled research, based on original real-world problems provided directly by businesses and industry. 

Over 200 students from 26 universities have participated in over 70 major research projects under his supervision over the past eight years. These projects have resulted in numerous publications, keynote lectures, and multiple presentations with 150+ students at various national conferences.

He received funding from a number of organizations, including the National Science Foundation and the Mathematical Association of America. He has made significant contributions to mentorship and teaching and has received several awards, including the ERAU COAS Dean's Award for Leadership and Innovation in 2022, the ERAU Faculty Mentor of the Year Award in 2022, the ERAU COAS Award for Undergraduate Student Mentorship in 2023, and the 2024 Faculty Mentor Award from the Mathematical, Computing, and Statistical Sciences Division of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR).

He is an inspiring speaker who supports undergraduate research and data science literacy. His innovative approaches are aimed at empowering and motivating students from historically underrepresented groups in STEM to engage in undergraduate research. Several national conferences have featured his keynote and plenary speeches.

He is exceptionally skilled at forging alliances and partnerships with businesses, governments, industries, and non-profit organizations. Over the past five years, he has personally established long-term research collaborations with over ten organizations, businesses, and government labs. 

Over the past few years, he has successfully developed cross-disciplinary partnerships in the field of applied data science with a number of ERAU departments, including Security Studies and International Affairs, Human Factors and Behavioral Neurobiology, Aviation Maintenance Science, and Civil Engineering.  As a result, he served as co-principal investigator on two funded projects with METIS Solutions and DHS.

The foundation for more extensive data science initiatives across the ERAU has been laid by Mihhail's work in these areas. In order to fully realize the potential of data science for society, he seeks to incite a sizeable long-term investment in cross-disciplinary and cross-sector engagement strategies that will help establish ERAU as a major player in bridging the gaps between applied data science research, education, and public good.
