Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichelle Byrne is a senior data scientist and interdisciplinary research leader with a PhD in Psychology and eight years of focused experience translating complex longitudinal and neuroimmunological research into robust, reproducible analytics and policy-relevant insights. She has led programs on how psychosocial stressors—particularly those affecting LGBTQIA+ youth—shape brain development, immunity, and mental health across puberty, and she blends that domain expertise with rigorous statistical methods for longitudinal data. Now at SEEK, she applies experimentation and A/B testing to product and AI platforms, bringing an academic rigour to industrial-scale analytics. Michelle is also a seasoned educator who has taught data science and research methods, and she is known for stakeholder-engaged projects that bridge public-sector impact and business solutions. A not-obvious strength is her rare combination of psychoneuroimmunology subject-matter depth with practical experimentation design in applied tech settings.
