Organizing Committee

Michiel Verburg

Michiel VerburgData Scientist, Abibia

My first encounter with data science was through my studies in Computer Science and Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology. During my master program, I applied deep learning in the field of facial micro-expressions recognition, and for my thesis I did an analysis on behavioral data of shelter dogs in the Netherlands in collaboration with the Dutch Association for the Protection of Animals (De Dierenbescherming). I have always believed in using technology for the greater good, and am now a firm believer of the fact that data science has the potential of solving important societal issues.
