Ursula Redmond (@uredmond) is a Data Scientist at VSware. She started working with large data sets during her PhD in computing science at UCD. She studied the optimization problem of pattern matching in network data, which becomes prohibitively expensive for larger networks. After graduation, she worked as a software engineer at SIG, developing financial trading applications that need to handle huge volumes of market data at a high throughput. She currently works on the optimization team at VSware, tackling the timetabling problem for European secondary schools.
