“We were fortunate to have Shirin in the data science group for nearly two years. She proved creative and enthusiastic and constantly pursued areas for improvement. As a manager I have to say that Shirin was a pleasure to work with; she was always very responsive to feedback and was naturally motivated and ambitious. Among Shirin's contributions are the network modeling projects that the team helped initiate. Shirin was a critical part of our efforts to build a network analysis capability. She helped design and produce much of the code, analytics and visualizations. Any organization would be lucky to have Shirin as a contributor.”

Founder and Organizer - Colloquia
Newcastle University
- 3 years 2 months
Education
I founded Colloquia as a bi-weekly colloquium to increase engagement of staff and students in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Newcastle University. The concept was simple: a short and interesting talk that could be on almost any topic, from current research work to stories from a student's home country. The sessions were an hour long and lead to increased staff-student engagement while helped new students' orientation.

Data4Children Datathon
I worked as a part of a team on UNICEF data for Data4Children Dive. Over a one day datathon, we identified a focus area from a big pull of UNICEF data to investigate the drivers of infant mortality rate in developing countries. We cleaned and transformed data, used data mining techniques to identify important drivers and utilized visualization techniques to present the results to a mix of technical and non-technial audiance.
