Hello! I'm Aishani, a computer science student, and I’m excited to be running for Vice President of the Data Science Society 2024-2025.

As a current First Year Representative for the Science division, I have had the opportunity to contribute to the weekly Machine Learning Workshop series, whilst also being able to gain a better understanding of the inner workings of the society.

My wholly enjoyable experiences as both a society member and as an FYR have spurred me on to run for this position. As Vice President, I would strive to make a meaningful contribution and give back to the society that has heightened my passion and grown my knowledge in data science and machine learning.

If elected, I would aim to facilitate in:

  • Fostering a collaborative environment, where society members can collaborate to explore exciting areas of Data Science, such as through hackathons and long-term group projects.
  • Reaching out to industry professionals to organise talks and networking events, to allow members to learn more about the range of career opportunities and diverse applications of data science across various industries. This could also involve collaborating with other societies within UCL.

Overall, as Vice President, my primary aim would be to help grow and develop a community in which people across all stages in their data science journey can come together to share their passion for the area, through innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

Thank you very much!
