Before the the BSE Data Science Master I was working for 5 years as a Research Associate in the Hellenic Institute of Transport at Thessaloniki, Greece, on typical transport related research and consultancy projects. After the master I received a scholarship to join the research team of the University of Leeds, followed by a 2-year contract at University College London and a Principal Transport Modeller position at Jacobs Engineering in London, where I currently serve as Data Science Lead. I am very certain that without the master, I would have never had the opportunities to join the organizations and work on the projects I have during the last 5 years.
