"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Confucius
Hey there! I'm Jeyashree (or JK), a Data Science Consultant at the Advanced Analytics Team, Siemens Advanta Consulting, Siemens AG. I turn complex business challenges into manageable data puzzles. I am also a visiting scientist at the Center for Computational Life Sciences, University Hospital Aachen. When I'm not working with data, I'm probably out running somewhere, exploring a new country or geeking out over a good book.
Professional Expertise
At Siemens, I work with data across different areas including Finance, Cybersecurity, Digital Twin, Healthcare, and Sustainability – all the while trying to keep my coffee addiction in check . In my role as a data science consultant, I manage cross-functional projects, develop models, and deliver tailored data-driven solutions across various industries. Prior to this, I completed my Ph.D. and Postdoctoral research at the Joint Research Center for Computational Biomedicine and Aachen Institute for advanced study in Computational Engineering Science, RWTH Aachen University. During this time, I was working on simulations of biological systems, using both model- and data-driven methods to find features that contribute to emergent behavior.
Tools and Technologies
My everyday work involves using a variety of tools and technologies to tackle data challenges. My daily toolkit includes Python, MATLAB, R, SQL, and the coolest machine learning frameworks. I even built this website with Node.js and Express for the backend and a mix of HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript for the frontend. Because, why not add web development skills to the mix?
Research Work
Once upon a time, in my postdoctoral days, I managed various aspects of the Neuronode Project wherein I teamed up with some brilliant minds at the Ernst Group, McGill University and the Ewing Group, Gothenburg University to work on computational problems related to neurodegenerative diseases. During my Ph.D., I focused on modeling phase transitions in network biology, combining elements of statistical physics with complex networks. I was a visiting researcher at the Douglas Research Institute / Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University and the Center for Complex Systems at Utrecht University. Want to dig deeper? Head over to my research page for all the details.
Papers, Talks and Industry Contributions
I've had the opportunity to present my work at various international conferences, contribute to industry projects, author whitepapers, and have my research published in reputable journals, gaining valuable experience and insights along the way. Check out my talks and research pages to see more.
Hacking and Tinkering
In my spare time, I love diving into side projects involving coding, math, and some good old-fashioned hacking around. When something catches my eye, I dive into it headfirst and keep going until I run out of steam. There's nothing like the joy of solving tricky problems and having a bit of fun in the process! If you're interested in seeing what I've been up to, take a peek at my portfolio.
Personal Interests
I love taking on challenges in different areas to see how much I can push my limits. Off the clock, you’ll often find me indulging in my favorite hobbies:
- Running: I've done over 10 (ultra-) marathons in 5 continents. Running away from my responsibilities, one marathon at a time.
- Traveling: Visiting over 50 countries has given me plenty of stories and even more fridge magnets.
- Reading: I once read over 100 books in a year. My bookshelf is my happy place.
