LogiNext, a company into big data analytics and logistics management, has entered into a research partnership with Carnegie Mellon University and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the US.

The company has also initiated talks with Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia and Stanford University, California, for similar partnerships, the company said in a statement.

The partnership will enable PhD students from these universities to study LogiNext’s data, analyse the emerging markets and generate appropriate algorithms to solve the upcoming challenges in the logistic sector. The association will help expose students to real-world complex problems, whilst letting LogiNext further strengthen its platform, it added.

“Our research group gets in-depth exposure to real data that helps us identify novel challenges and technology gaps in emerging markets. Emerging markets present unique technological challenges because of more uncertain, dynamic or resource-constrained settings. We analyse LogiNext data to understand these phenomena and also leverage our knowledge from mature markets,” Lavanya Maria, a professor from CMU said.
