Sylvain Robert

I’m passionnate about using statistics and data science in the fields of Climate 🌦, Environment 🌿 and Risks 🔥. I studied at ETH Zürich and worked at Swiss Re and Google. I am open for individual consulting engagements.

My experience spans data assimilation for weather forecasting using Bayesian methods, spatio-temporal modelling of environmental data with Machine Learning, risks and uncertainty estimation for extreme events in (re-)insurance, all the way to designing geo-experiments to measure the causal impact of online campaigns.

One thing that these various applications have in common is to combine data with deep expertise and insights of people: AI and data have a great potential on their own. Used in conjonction with human intelligence they can actually change the world.
