Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAna Silva is a Senior Data Scientist based in Ghent with over 10 years of experience bridging biomedical research and product-facing machine learning. She moved from a PhD in biomedical engineering and mass spectrometry research into applied data science roles, bringing strong domain expertise in life sciences to recommendation, experimentation, and personalization systems. At FARFETCH she worked on both experimentation platforms and personalized recommendations, and she now applies that product-focused rigor to content and user-facing modelling at Storytel. Her background in academic research gives her a rigorous approach to causal inference and experimental design, while her industry work emphasizes deployment, A/B testing, and measurable business impact. Comfortable with both research and production, she excels at translating complex data-driven insights into scalable solutions. Colleagues would describe her as a scientist who intentionally shapes ML for real-world outcomes rather than only modelling for accuracy.
