Title: Field notes for future data scientists: tips from a career in industry
Abstract: When training to be a data scientist there is an emphasis on data analysis and modeling
techniques — but what happens once you are out in industry? This talk will provide practical suggestions based on my career in data science, with examples drawn from applications in news and media, finance, and advertising technology. Topics will include going deep with data, understanding uncertainty, joining forces with engineers, taking a product mindset, knowing your end user, and architecting end-to-end systems.
Speaker bio: Shawn Simpson, Ph.D. is Principal Data Scientist in BlackRock AI Labs, where she leads an initiative that builds AI-powered decision tools for traders. Previously she was Senior Data Scientist at Tapad, a cross-device advertising technology firm. She built large-scale predictive models for telco applications using Scala, Spark/PySpark, Python, Hadoop MapReduce, and Google Cloud Platform technologies, and acted as lead data scientist on cross-functional product teams. Prior to that Shawn was Head of Data Science at Dow Jones. She was responsible for multivariate paywall testing on WSJ.com, predictive models for subscriptions and cancellations, company-wide data science training,
and internal consulting for newsroom, finance, and customer teams.
Before joining industry Shawn was an Assistant Professor of Statistics at Columbia University. Her research focused on analysis of recurrent events, Bayesian methods for large-scale data, and post-
marketing drug safety surveillance. She has a Ph.D. in Statistics from Columbia University and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Financial Speakers Series - Taking the Myth Out of Becoming Debt Free
2022-04-27 17:00 - 18:30 | Virtual – WebEx
Presented by Ramapo Alumnus Anthony Siciliano ’10
How often do you think about money? When you think about Money, what comes to mind? Of all the threats to your financial security, none is more dangerous than DEBT. In this 45 minute information session, Anthony will share some debt elimination and budgeting concepts that everyone can be utilizing to help turn their wasted money into wealth.
After graduating with a degree in Marketing from Ramapo College in 2010, Anthony Siciliano became a professional photographer documenting community events for various news outlets in Bergen County. When an injury made it difficult for him to pick up the camera in late 2010, he made the decision to leave that field and begin a new career.
With guidance from his father, Anthony dove into the world of personal finance and discovered his passion for educating families on important financial topics. Over the last 12 years, he has helped thousands of families apply meaningful change to their money habits. He currently manages 45 licensed advisors from his office location, just down the road from RCNJ in Mahwah.
