Datenbasierte Wissenschaft und Innovation mit Social Effect

Alexander joined the SDSC’s industry team in May 2022. His background is in nuclear physics and he holds a Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut. Before joining the SDSC, he worked as a Carnegie Mellon University postdoc on the GlueX experiment at the Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory in Virginia where he used data and statistical models to debug and calibrate detectors as well as measure the properties of the phi meson. After academia, he worked in the industry at a small start-up data consultancy, a large printing company, and a financial company where he used neural networks for detecting fraudulent credit card transactions.

Matthias Galipaud obtained his PhD in evolutionary biology in 2012 from the University of Burgundy in Dijon (France), and held postdoctoral positions as a mathematical biologist at the university of Bielefeld (Germany) and the university of Zurich, where he researched the evolutionary theories of aging and mate choice. In 2020, he became a data scientist, developing machine learning solutions for startups in Switzerland and Australia before joining the SDSC Innovation Team in November 2022.

Olivier joined the SDSC as a data scientist focused on industry collaborations in February 2023. He obtained a MSc in Physics (2017) from EPFL with a minor in Mathematics, and a PhD in Astrophysics (2021) from Aix-Marseille University. Before joining the SDSC, he worked in a small start-up, as a data scientist, on a variety of topics, including data wrangling, natural language processing and time series forecasting.

Clément Lefèbvre joined the SDSC in January 2019 as a Data Scientist with an emphasis on industry-oriented projects in the Innovation team, based in Lausanne.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, acquired in 2016 from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. Following this, he earned a Master of Science in Computational Science and Engineering in 2018, also from EPFL. Throughout his academic journey, Clément concentrated on leveraging Data Science and Machine Learning techniques to enhance efficiency in industrial processes. Subsequently, he developed a specialized interest in Generative AI, with a particular focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP), especially in the application of Large Language Models for innovation.

Thibaut holds a B.Sc in Computer Science from HEIG-VD. Before joining the SDSC, he worked in startups where he developped a diverse skill set combining cloud infrastructure, database and application development. Thibaut is very enthusiatic about new technologies and best coding practices and he is looking forward to supporting the team and its projects.
