Dan Assouline

Dan received an MSc in civil and environmental engineering from UC Berkeley and a Ph.D. from EPFL, where he developed models combining machine learning and geographic information systems to estimate renewable energy potentials on a large scale. After serving as a researcher/data scientist at Unisanté (Lausanne) and completing a one-year postdoc at the Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute (Mila) in Montréal, Dan joined the SDSC Innovation team. His work has generally been focusing on crafting and tailoring machine learning methods and deep learning architectures for a variety of domains, most notably the spatio-temporal modeling and forecasting of environmental and energy related variables, as well as multiple applications in public health research.
