Benjamin Ziepert
I work as a Data Scientist at Vodafone Ireland in the Big Data & AI team.
Expertise
I translate research questions into the right data-analysis and explain complex findings in understandable terms. For instance, I worked for a four-year research project with machine learning techniques such as PCA, programmed and published my own R software to analyze GPS data, and translated my findings for a non-expert audience. I’m always eager to learn new data analysis methods and to stay informed about the latest developments in data science research. Furthermore, I enjoy working in teams, because I believe that feedback is important for personal and professional development, and I like sharing memorable moments with others.
