Top SchoolDulshani Gunawardhana is a Data Scientist based in London with 11 years of experience blending product analytics, research, and trust-and-safety operations across industry and academia. Currently at Meta, she applies statistical and NLP techniques to product problems while her academic work at LSE and Oxford explored government censorship, cross-cutting ideological discourse online, and the ethics of AI in unpaid domestic labor. Her background spans engineering roots and platform operations at Facebook, giving her a rare combination of hands-on technical skills and operational rigor. She is skilled in survey design and quantitative analysis (R), and has a track record of turning complex social-science questions into actionable data insights for product and policy.
