Fireside Chat: Careers in Data Science

Join us for a virtual fireside chat with Dr. Irina Kukuyeva. Dr. Irina Kukuyeva is a fractional Chief Data Officer, who over the past 10 years, has helped companies grow by collaborating on product strategy to develop customer-centric, data-driven products with market fit -- and happier customers, in virtually every industry: IoT, fashion, hospitality, internet and social networks, healthcare, finance, market research and online advertising.

She’s also a lecturer at the UCLA Statistics Department, teaching a core graduate course on best practices for AI/ML. Irina holds a PhD in Statistics from UCLA, where she developed a novel image compression algorithm and found similarities between two storms on Jupiter -- a finding confirmed by NASA’s Juno mission 6 years later.

She has mentored over 100 data professionals (since 2013) and over 35 start-ups (since 2017).
