Sandra Greiss

I joined Lyst in December 2014, as a junior data scientist, a couple of months after I finished my PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics (Warwick). Lyst is an online fashion website, where we aggregate millions of products from thousands of retailers. I am responsible for building the 'autocomplete' and 'did you mean' features of Search on our website. I have now moved towards more data science projects, where I want to predict the fabric of clothes, shoes and bags on Lyst using their descriptions and images. I use crowdsourcing to tag the products for the training dataset of my models. Besides work, I have a weird obsession with shoes, good food and travelling every few weeks!
