Together, they decided to open the French chapter of Women in Machine Learning and Data Science in Paris!
Chloe-Agathe Azencott
Chloe-Agathe is a research scientist at the Centre for Computational Biology of MINES ParisTech and Institut Curie (Paris, France). She holds a PhD in computer science from the University of California Irvine (USA). Her research revolves around the development of machine learning methods for therapeutic research, with applications ranging from drug discovery to precision medicine. She gave her first research talk ever in 2006, at the first WiML meeting.
Natalie Cernecka
Natalie is a former academic converted to tech. She holds a BA from University of Latvia, MPhil and PhD from University of Cambridge, and has worked in research and management roles for University of Cambridge, CNRS, and Keio University. As Director of Partnerships in a French edtech startup, she launched three online degrees in data science, the first ever in France and Europe. She is passionate about life-long learning, skill development, and non-linear careers, and believes that diversity is the spice of life
Marie Sacksick
Previously Director of Research in a French edtech startup, Marie
Sacksick is now Senior Data Scientist at CybelAngel. She is in charge of
building Machine Learning models to automatically detect data leaks and
organizing the team. Marie holds a Engineering degree from Ecole
Centrale de Lyon, as well as a Research MSc degree in Maths from the
University of Lyon. Although she chose to specialize in Machine
Learning, she is passionate about sciences in general. She loves to work
on complex maths problems related to projects with positive impact on
society.
Chloé Laurent
"Chloé was a librarian when she decided to learn how to make good use of social data. She is now a Data Engineer/Scientist in Paris area and passionate about transforming a real-world problem into a production-ready solution.
She wants to put diversity in the front row and close the gap between always-been developers and converted ones. For that, she's always eager to learn from others and pass on what she learned."
