Whats a type of researcher that uses computer to make sense of complex digital data

Answer 1

Answer:

Data Scientist

Explanation:

Data Scientist (different from a statistician) is a type of researcher that uses computer softwares to analyse and make sense of raw digital data.

Data Scientists usually combine knowledge of computer science, statistics and mathematics while using various softwares to extract information and meaningful, key insights (whether structured or unstructured) from data.

There are two popular types of data scientists: Operational Data Scientists (experts in software implementations and day to day running of the data science wing of a firm) and Exploratory Data Scientists (The real digital data miners, the researchers).

With the way the world is set up now that data is everything, data scientists are a must for every firm as the raw data every firm collects is processed by data scientists.
