FREE WEBINARS: Data Science (various webinars), run by Pivago

Break into Data Science in 2018

Data science has been described as the 'Sexiest job of the 21st century' and touches all sectors of industry and companies of all sizes. A career in data science is an easy transition to make for those who have a masters or PhD in an analytical subject because the skills that one learns from academia can be directly applied to a commercial setting. In this webinar Pivigo’s community manager and data scientist, Deepak Mahtani will discuss what data science is, what tools one needs to learn to start and have a successful career in this exciting field, and why masters and PhD graduates make great data scientists. He will also discuss how Pivigo can help you make the transition into data science. Deepak studied for a degree in Mathematics and Astronomy at the University of Sheffield. From there he went on to gain his PhD in Astrophysics from Keele University where he was researching exoplanet atmospheres. Upon completing his PhD, he participated in the S2DS virtual program in March 2016. He is now the community manager and a data scientist at Pivigo.
