Data enthusiast with a touch of development
I'm an Assistant Professor of Marketing at the Tilburg School of Economics and Management. I am broadly interested in online marketplaces and e-commerce. Particularly, I aim to look at how consumers make use of various cues in an e-commerce setting, and how these cues might have an impact on decision making. Examples include user-generated content such as reviews/ratings, non-focal prices advertised by a platform on their product page, and recommender systems. The primary methodologies I use are causal inference, experiments/quasi experiments and applied machine learning. In a separate stream of projects, I am also interested in applications of digitization for equity and development.
I received my PhD in Marketing from Boston University, where I was also a Rafik Hariri Graduate Fellow. Prior to that, I did my B.Sc (Calcutta University) and M.Sc (Warwick University, as a Commonwealth scholar) in Economics.
Research Master student in Marketing at Tilburg University | RA at Tilburg Science Hub
Ted Conway is currently a Data Analyst working with Big Data in the financial sector. Ted studied Computer Science at the University of Illinois (UIUC, BS LAS) and DePaul University (MS CS).
Data Engineer at Flixbus
I am an ML Engineer at Nunam where I build learning systems to keep li-ion batteries in EVs safe, sustainable and performant.
Srivatsa Kundurthy is a student based in the Greater New York City Area. As a Python practitioner, his projects include Open Source Intelligence tools for extracting public data and Python notebooks for explaining and simulating chaotic dynamical systems. His work in machine learning includes studying computer vision applications and researching neural networks for predicting states of chaotic dynamical systems. Additionally, he is working with the LAION Research Group and has co-authored LAION-5B, the world's largest open-source image-text dataset and the source dataset for Stable Diffusion. Apart from Machine Learning Research, Srivatsa is greatly interested in technology policy and community-related issues, particularly those extending to the accessibility of programming education. On the side, Srivatsa enjoys science communication and stargazing.
I am Aadit Kapoor. I love to think of new innovative ideas and most importantly try hard to make them a reality. In addition to that, I am extremely curious.
I am interested in solving technically difficult, real world AI problems. I enjoy solving applied A.I problems that are value-driven and can fundamentally change the way humans live. Additionaly, I love reading and analyzing businesses and companies.
My research areas of interests include: Artificial Intelligence , Machine Learning (A.I/M.L in Healthcare), Data Science, Biomedical Informatics/NLP.
I believe Data Science allows me to express my curiosity in ways I'd never imagine. The coolest thing in Data Science is that I see data not as numbers but as an opportunity (business problem), insights(predictive modelling\stats and data wrangling), and improvement (metrics).
