Igor Zakhlebin

Before transitioning to the industry, I was getting a Ph.D. at Northwestern in Computer Science and Communication. I studied how social signals collected from crowds of people could be used for evaluation of scientific and technological works, and prediction of their future success. To answer this question, I performed large-scale data analyses and built computational tools to support them. My methods of choice are machine learning, Bayesian modeling, network analysis, and natural language processing.
