Ross Hart

Senior Data Scientist at Tesco, based in Welwyn Garden City in the UK. I studied for a PhD in astrophysics between 2014 and 2018 (which I loved doing), but decided to pursue a career in Data Science after the PhD finished. I have enjoyed working on lots of projects in Data Science, but in the last year I have become particularly interested in mathematical optimisation techniques. I've enjoyed learning about optimisation problems and applying some interesting techniques to solving them in my daily work with the UK-based supermarket Tesco, and I'm looking forward to sharing what I've leanred to a wider audience at pyData this year.
