Data Science Institute

Kai Wombacher, ’18

The Data Science Master's program at Brown really helped me improve my coding and technical skills. The hands-on teaching style and labs provided us with essential demonstrations of Data Science and coding techniques that allowed us to expand and build our own unique projects.

KaiWhat initially made you interested in Data Science?

I became passionate about Data Science when studying the similarities and differences between Neural Networks and Cortical Network Models of the Brain. The ability to use Data Science to understand, model, and learn about ourselves and the world around us is what has made this such an exciting and interesting subject for me.

What are your plans following the program?

I am working for Zylotech, a Self Learning Customer Intelligence Platform that helps companies understand their customers' needs and preferences to better serve them. By leveraging duel layers of Artificial Intelligence for both data management and analytics, we work to democratize customer analytics for companies at any scale.
