Luisa Ardila is a Data Scientist and Research Software Engineer with four years of experience applying AI and ML to scientific and engineering problems, currently working at TNO after a stint at the Netherlands eScience Center. She designs and deploys end-to-end ML pipelines—data prep, model training, GPU/HPC deployment, monitoring—and collaborates closely with stakeholders to translate research needs into production-ready scientific software. Her background includes a PhD in Mechanics and Civil Engineering and hands-on research in particle aerosols and fluidized beds, giving her a strong foundation in numerical methods and experimental validation. Luisa blends rigorous academic research with practical engineering, routinely implementing state-of-the-art and generative AI methods for simulation-heavy domains. Based in Amsterdam, she is an organized code reviewer and contributor to research software projects, with a public portfolio linking to her project work.
