Speaker: Dr. Sami Cheong (Data Science Lead – Customer Analytics at Bayer)
Title: “Data Science for Sustainable Agriculture at Bayer Crop Science”

Abstract: In this talk, we’ll take a tour of the data science community at Bayer Crop Science, starting with an introduction to who we are, what we stand for, and an overview of our Women in Data Science organization. In the second part, we will visit a data science use case that utilizes Bayesian spatial hierarchical modeling to help our research and development pipeline better make advancement decisions for seed treatment products. Specifically, we will introduce examples of our experimental trials, data challenges, insights from visualization, as well as innovation in modeling techniques that helped us gain important insights about working with large scale experimental data.

The Applied Mathematics in Industry Seminar (AMIS) series is primarily focused on highlighting how mathematics is used in various different careers and is geared toward undergraduates. Seminars typically require little or no advanced mathematical knowledge and are open to anyone.

This seminar will be held virtually.
