Kanad Basu

As an award winning Data Scientist & Applied Mathematician, I help companies turn data into information, information into insights, and insights into revenue. I have over a decade long experience in solving complex analytical problems in academic and business settings using different machine learning and advanced statistical techniques. I hold a Ph.D. in Applied and Computational Mathematics and did my Post Doctorate training in Statistical Modeling. Before joining the corporate world, I was involved in academic research in ML/AI. I have extensive experience in analyzing large datasets and building predictive models. I have authored 17+ peer-reviewed publications and a book chapter in “Modeling High-Frequency Financial Data”. I am frequently invited as a speaker in many national and international Computational Mathematics/Data science conferences.
