Top SchoolNicola Fox is a mixed-methods criminologist and data scientist with eight years of experience applying Python, R, SQL and cloud tooling to real-world social problems and enterprise analytics. Currently a PhD candidate, research associate and teaching assistant at the University of Manchester, she publishes work on vulnerable and seriously harmed missing children while building reproducible data science solutions. Previously she delivered NLP models, APIs and human-in-the-loop tooling at Equal Experts and created data platforms and PDF search tools for social-good projects, demonstrating a blend of research rigour and production engineering. Her background spans business analysis, enterprise architecture and product delivery across finance, insurance and retail, enabling her to translate complex policy questions into actionable data products.
