Summary
Sebastiao Correia is a senior R&D and product leader with 11+ years in data quality, BI and master data management and a deep research background from a PhD in theoretical physics. He currently directs labs at Qlik after leading Talend’s R&D and product teams, combining hands-on algorithm design (C++, evolutionary/metaheuristics, Bayesian networks) with production BI platforms and MDM solutions. Known for bridging rigorous modeling (UML, MDA, automatic code generation) with practical deployments—operational data stores, data marts and reporting—he also applies statistical prediction and information-theoretic ideas to real-world problems. His early work solving vehicle routing and scheduling with renormalization-inspired techniques and R/Evolving Objects integrations reveals a propensity to import theoretical insights into scalable engineering. Based in Nanterre, France, he blends scientific curiosity about quantum and probability foundations with enterprise-grade product leadership.
