(Alumni)

Dorina is a Senior Data Scientist at the Swiss Data Science Centre since December 2016. Prior to that, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Signal Processing Laboratory (LTS4) of EPFL, Switzerland. She got her M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Communication Systems and Electrical Engineering respectively, both from EPFL, and her Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Patras, Greece. In summer 2014, she was a research intern with Microsoft Research, Redmond, USA, working on the compression of 3D point clouds. Her research interests include graph-based signal processing for data representation and analysis, as well as machine learning, with a particular focus on the design of interpretable models for personalized medicine. After four years at the Swiss Data Science Center, Dorina has joined the pole of the Center for Intelligent Systems (CIS) at EPFL on Medicine and Healthcare as an AI Research Scientist.

Open and reproducible environmental science: from theory to equations and algorithms

We need complex models that accurately represent the feedbacks between different processes and compartments to inform us how a perturbation in one component may affect other components of the coupled climate-earth surface system that are relevant to us.
