  • Careers in Data Science and Data Engineering Infosession

    Fri, Oct 14, 2016 @ 11:00 AM - 01:00 PM

    Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science

    Workshops & Infosessions


    With the explosion of raw data being produced in recent years, data scientists and engineers work on topics covering almost every aspect of life we can think of. Top companies like Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, The New York Times, Merck, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and the Broad Institute are hiring students from quantitative fields to help them glean insights from the terabytes of data that they collect every day. While the amount of data these companies are producing and storing is growing exponentially, there is a severe shortage of top talent to organize, store, and analyze these data and extract valuable insights.

    In this seminar, Judit Lantos will discuss her transition from a career in research to becoming a Data Engineer and Program Director at the Insight Data Engineering Fellowship program, where she helps graduating students from quantitative fields make the transition themselves. She will also give a high-level overview of the state of the field of data engineering and industry-wide trends, as well as the tools and skills that top data-driven companies are looking for when hiring data scientists and engineers. The session will include time for Q&A, as well as advice for those interested in transitioning to careers based on Insight's experience working with 600+ alumni.

    ABSTRACT:

    After lifelong involvement in the translation of fundamental physiology into commercial products, I must conclude that there are useful experiences but no general rules. So I will give brief demonstrations of three current technologies from my research that are in various stages of tech transfer and then open the floor to questions and discussion:

    - Our biomimetic tactile sensing technology was developed to meet the needs of advanced prosthetic hands, a market too small to be viable. A group of my graduate students started SynTouch to adapt it to robotic hands, but that market depends on many other technologies that we don't control. The killer app seems to be objective characterization of materials for the consumer products industry, which we didn't even know existed when we started.

    - We started working on injectable neuromuscular stimulators in 1988 and had a series of very successful clinical trials at USC circa 2000-2008. Commercialization efforts then failed for various reasons. A new and simpler version called the NuStim is being commercialized as a joint venture with a medical device company based in China and will start a clinical trial there this year.

    - Using technology related to the NuStim, we have developed and completed preclinical testing of a micropacemaker that can be injected into the chest of a fetus with complete heart block in the womb, a rare and usually fatal condition. We anticipate a first-in-human application as a custom device soon, which seems likely to inform decisions about its commercialization.

    They recently made waves across the internet when they were featured on ProductHunt: https://www.producthunt.com/tech/byor

    Come join us for a fun, informative session with the co-founders of BYOR, Aerin Kim and Rohit Pandey.

    Aerin graduated from Yonsei University with a Bachelors in Computer Science and Industrial Engineering and then went on to get her Masters in Operations Research at Columbia University in the City of New York. Prior to co-founding BYOR, Aerin was with Standard Chartered Bank as a Senior Manager and then Data Scientist at Boxfish.

    Rohit Pandey graduate from IIT Delhi with a Bachelors in Mechanical, Production and Industrial Technology and then went on to complete his Masters in Operations Research at Columbia University in the City of New York. His work experience includes Indus Valley Partners, The Nielsen Company, Zaloni, Microsoft and LinkedIn.

    Topic:

    Given the increasing interest of deep learning (word2vec) and machine learning from students, this will be a real "tech" talk. In this session we'll teach students about the basic real-world neural networks and the word2vec concept.

    Structure of the Talk:

    First 30 minutes: Introductory session for Deep Learning and word2vec.
    Second 30 minutes: Tech Resume Dos and Donts
    Last 30 minutes: Q&A and live resume fix from BYOR.

    We will be sending out a form to apply to have a live resume fix with Aerin or Rohit soon. We already have a huge demand for this given Aerin and Rohit's unique experience at many desirable tech companies so if you really want to get a 5 minute session with them, we encourage you to put some effort into the form.
