What motivates you in your daily work as a data expert?
What I appreciate most is the interdisciplinary nature of this work, it gives me the opportunity to work on a great diversity of applications, I never get bored!
What does datacraft bring you?
As a researcher in applied mathematics, I am much interested in observing concrete applications of mathematics. To me, datacraft is a very nice place where ideas, knowledge and problems can be exchanged and where practitioners may possibly offer me a perspective on the current limits of the state-of-the-art in data science and stimulate my research activity.
