Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSaoirse Courts is a data scientist and mathematician with a PhD in mathematics and nine years of experience applying deep theoretical insight to practical ML and computational problems. She has published first-author work at ICLR and translated her expertise in noncommutative algebra into ML research during internships at PNNL, producing novel models for few-shot learning and invertible architectures inspired by topology. Most recently she modeled somatic hypermutation in a postdoc at Fred Hutch / HHMI, blending probabilistic modeling with biological domain knowledge. Known for being analytically rigorous yet collaborative and warm, she thrives in teams that value curiosity and impact. Outside research she’s driven by a sense of justice and a love of animals and tea, a personal mix that informs how she chooses projects and workplaces.
