Senior🎓
Top SchoolSadia Khalil is a Lead Data Scientist with 11 years of experience applying physics-grade rigor to industrial AI, currently building AI-powered solutions for Caterpillar’s manufacturing operations. Her background in high-energy physics and roles at CERN and major U.S. labs inform a strong track record in large-scale data, from designing noise-reduction algorithms used in Higgs discovery to leading a 56-person exotic-particle search team. At Caterpillar she has delivered practical impact—reducing manual OEM data-mapping from nine days to under one, accelerating warranty adjudication by 50% with NLP, and deploying computer vision for parts recognition and payload estimation. She blends hands-on engineering (Python, C/C++, VHDL) and full-stack contributions to data GUIs on open-source repos with strategic modeling for supply-chain and inventory programs. Comfortable leading cross-functional teams, she thrives at the intersection of research-grade methods and production deployment, turning complex statistical inference into measurable business value. Based in Peoria, Illinois, she brings a rare combination of particle-physics pedigree and pragmatic industry delivery.
