Data Science Lead | Habidatum International, Inc | New York, New York, United States

As a Data Scientist lead at Habidatum, I have had the privilege to contribute significantly to the field of equity and inclusion in measuring the key factors that influence economic growth and development. My leadership role in a team of data scientists sponsored by the World Bank led to the development of a methodology for using Big Data sources to calculate the Consumer Price Index for the Russian state statistics agency, a macroeconomic indicator of significant importance. Additionally, I led the development of the Inclusive Growth Score (IGS) in partnership with Habidatum and the MasterCard Center for Inclusive Growth, a metric that urban and regional planning agencies use to measure the level of inclusive economic growth in a country or region. I have also had the honor of serving on the jury panels for major international competitions, including the UN-sponsored Big Data Hackathon. My educational qualifications include a Master’s degree in Information Science and Technology from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology and a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Physics and Mathematics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
