Corinne joined the SDSC research team as a senior data scientist in December 2020. She graduated with a PhD in Statistics from the University of Washington in 2020. Her doctoral research focused on representation learning for partitioning problems. Prior to her PhD, she obtained bachelor's degrees in Math, Statistics, and Economics, along with a master's degree in Economics, from Penn State University. Her research interests include deep learning and kernel-based methods, with applications in fields ranging from computer vision to oceanography.

Ekaterina received her PhD in Computer Science from Moscow Institute for Physics and Technology, Russia. Afterwards, she worked as a researcher at the Institute for Information Transmission Problems in Moscow and later as a postdoctoral researcher in the Stochastic Group at the Faculty of Mathematics at University Duisburg-Essen, Germany. She has experience with various applied projects on signal processing, predictive modelling, macroeconomic modelling and forecasting, and social network analysis. She joined the SDSC in November 2019. Her interests include machine learning, non-parametric statistical estimation, structural adaptive inference, and Bayesian modelling.
