Dr. Klimka Szwaykowska Kasraie
kkasraie@gsu.edu
Dr. Klimka Szwaykowska Kasraie completed her BS in Physics at California Institute of Technology in 2007 and received her PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2013, with a minor in Math. Her thesis focused on uncertainty in model-based navigation of autonomous underwater vehicles. From there, she worked as a postdoc research fellow at the US Naval Research Lab, studying the effects of noise and delay on collective motions of swarms of autonomous vehicles. Her interest in robotics and autonomous systems eventually led her to machine learning and AI. She is currently working as a Data Scientist at RentPath, a position she has held since 2016. Her projects have included building models to forecast customer churn, helping to build an improved recommendation engine on the RentPath websites and email marketing campaigns, and improving sorting of listings on the website. Her interests include deep learning, time series forecasting, and complex systems analysis.
