Summary
Sara Cerioli is a Senior Data Scientist with eight years of experience translating complex data into actionable insights, currently advancing analytics at Mars Petcare after roles in adtech and academic research. Trained as a physicist (MSc, Università degli Studi di Milano), she bridges rigorous experimental methods and practical production analytics—rewriting team code into R packages, building testing frameworks, and leading PoC dashboard implementations. Her background includes hands-on instrumentation and Monte Carlo simulation work on silicon photomultipliers, giving her unusual strength in measurement-driven modeling and uncertainty quantification. She is passionate about communicating science to broad audiences and mentoring junior colleagues, and she independently reproduced a notable study on gender differences in preferences during the pandemic (see her GitHub project). Based in Mannheim, Germany, she blends curiosity-driven research with product-focused statistics to deliver robust, interpretable models.
