Summary
Luke Batten is a Senior Data Scientist with a decade of experience applying machine learning and large-scale data analysis across academia, government research, and commercial market research. He earned a PhD in Physics from UCL and built production-ready analysis and instrumentation for high-energy experiments including NASA’s ANITA and Fermilab LArIAT, work that combined C++, Python, and large dataset pipelines. Transitioning to industry, he has driven ML initiatives at Arthur D. Little and now leads data science efforts for fandom-focused insights at MarketCast, bridging rigorous experimental methods with customer-facing analytics. Comfortable in extreme environments—from Antarctic field deployment to enterprise data stacks—he brings a rare blend of hands-on experimental engineering and applied ML that accelerates insight from noisy, complex data.
