Event overview
Interested in a career in Data Science? Thinking about your next career move within this emerging field? If so, Alumni Insights: Let’s Talk Data Science is the event for you.
Alumni Insights events are designed to inform and inspire, providing a unique opportunity for you to learn from experienced alumni who have been in your shoes and are now advancing in their careers. A panel discussion will focus on career-related advice specific to those who are new to or interested in a career within the field of Data Science. Our alumni panellists will share what attracted them to the sector, the challenges and opportunities they have met along the way, tips and suggestions on career progression and their thoughts on how the sector is evolving. After the panel discussion there will be a chance to ask the panel any questions you might have, followed by networking and refreshments.
The panel will be chaired by Dr Marc Warner (MSc Physics 2006) – CEO & Co-Founder of Faculty (formally ASI Data Science).
Marc is the CEO and Co-Founder at Faculty. He co-founded Faculty in the belief that the benefits of AI should extend to everyone, and has since overseen the growth of Faculty to one of Europe’s leading AI companies. He has led many data science projects, with clients ranging from multinational companies like EasyJet and Siemens to the UK government and the NHS. Before Faculty, Marc was a Marie Curie Fellow in Physics at Harvard University, specialising in quantum sensing. Outside of Faculty, he advises the UK government on digital, data and artificial intelligence as a member of the Digital Economic Advisory Council. He has a PhD in Quantum Computing from the London Centre for Nanotechnology and a degree in Physics from Imperial College London.
