In partnership with SheCanCode.io, we are a select team of students from the UCL Entrepreneurs Society that have come together to make Hatch a reality. Our roles vary from marketing to logistics and legal; and we are deeply integrated into the organisation of Hatch London which has provided us with real world experience and an incredible opportunity to be a part of something that has the potential to inspire our generation to be more digital. 

At SheCanCode, we're on a mission to bridge the digital skills gap by empowering women to enter and remain in technology. Hatch was developed out of a passion for social impact, and a desire to not just talk about the advantages of diversity, but to show how diversity can drive innovation. 

Hatch is only the start of a series of such events that we'll be launching around the world, so get involved!

Our role at Hatch is to support mentors & facilitate the structure of sprints, using academic research to approach projects from an innovative & digital perspective, exposing hatchers to new tools, new ways to problem-solve, and providing exposure to scrum methodologies.

I have been working as a research scientist in artificial intelligence at DeepMind for 3 years, and my current interests include robotics, navigation and natural language processing. Prior to that, I worked on many diverse projects, including: finding fractures in rocks (as a research engineer in geology, at Schlumberger), on epileptic seizure prediction from EEG (at the New York University Medical Center), on geo-localisation (as a research scientist at Bell Labs) and on search query auto-completion for Microsoft Bing. All these projects share the same approach: coding up and training machine learning models, most often neural networks. I studied computer science in Toulouse, France, where I obtained an MSc from ENSEEIHT in 2002, and obtained a PhD in computer science from New York University in 2011. My other passion, besides AI, is performing theatre and improv comedy.

From the US originally, after completing my MBA at Oxford in 2016, I moved to London to work at Google on the YouTube strategy team.
