Michel Speiser, ICES

Michel Speiser joined the ICES Foundation as Chief Data Scientist in 2017, and strives to bring the advantages of AI and Machine Learning to bear on Earth Systems modeling, simulation and visualization. He previously spent six years at IBM Research, where his driving motivation was to push back the limits of data science, and unlock the value hidden in large, complex data, drawing on techniques in probabilistic and statistical modeling, Machine Learning and Data Mining. Michel holds a PhD in Information Systems and Operations Research (ETH Zurich), and Master’s degrees in Computer Science (EPFL), Complex Systems (Chalmers), and Mathematical Sciences (EPFL).
