Announcing more WiDS Stanford speakers. Join us online!

2/14/2023

 
Picture
While tickets are sold out for the upcoming Women in Data Science (WiDS) Stanford conference, happening at Stanford University on March 8, 2023, there is still an opportunity to join us online, as the conference sessions will be broadcasted via livestream.

We’re excited to announce another set of distinguished speakers addressing topics ranging from climate change to environmental science to computer vision to human-computer interaction, and so much more. They include:

Srinija Srinivasan, Co-Founder, Loove
Born in India and raised in Lawrence, Kansas, Srinija Srinivasan followed her siblings to college in California. Having studied artificial intelligence at Stanford and worked at a large-scale AI project after graduating, Srinija joined Yahoo! in 1995 as their fifth employee and self-titled Ontological Yahoo. She served as Vice President, Editor-in-Chief at Yahoo! for over 15 years, where her work centered on the human experience, from the categorization system of the Yahoo! Directory to editorial and policy issues globally. During that time she also chaired the board of non-profit SFJAZZ, and these experiences together inspired her to co-found Loove, a music venture exploring how commerce and technology can be guided by artistic values rather than letting our culture be led by market values. She's a board member of the On Being Project and a vice chair of Stanford University's Board of Trustees. She lives in Palo Alto, CA and Brooklyn, NY.

Momona Yamagami, Incoming Assistant Professor, Rice University
Momona will be an Assistant Professor at Rice University Electrical & Computer Engineering starting summer 2023 as part of the Digital Health Initiative. Her research leverages biosignal input to support accessibility and health applied to the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). She applies data-driven modeling to develop personalized models of how people use biosignal interfaces to enhance machine and device interactions. She is currently a CREATE postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, advised by Prof. Jennifer Mankoff. Her current research interests include how multi-modal biosignal input can improve HCI accessibility for new and emerging technology like virtual reality and support the health of people with disabilities.

Julia Stewart Lowndes, Director, Openscapes
Julia Stewart Lowndes, PhD is a marine ecologist working at the intersection of actionable environmental science, data science, and open science. Julia’s main focus is mentoring teams to develop technical and leadership mindsets and skills for data-intensive research, grounded in climate solutions, inclusion, and kindness. She founded Openscapes in 2018 as a Mozilla Fellow and Senior Fellow at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), having earned her PhD from Stanford University in 2012 studying drivers and impacts of Humboldt squid in a changing climate.

Wendy Ku, Senior Data Scientist, Getty Images
Wendy is a Senior Data Scientist at Getty Images, where she develops multilingual and visual-language representation models to improve users’ search experience. She leads Getty Images’ efforts on diagnosing bias and improving fairness in machine learning systems. Prior to joining Getty Images, Wendy was involved in product and operations optimization projects in cybersecurity, consumer finance and restaurant companies. When she’s not working, Wendy enjoys working on her art and running.

Once again, we hope that you can join us online for the WiDS Stanford conference on March 8, 2023.
