The fellowship will be supported by Mars, Inc., who will provide the fellow with rich and unique data sets which will allow the fellow to explore problems related to the digitization of retail purchases and marketing in an omni-channel environment, with potential focus on social networks, multi-media consumption, purchase timing, and advertising effectiveness.
