About Hai Nguyen

I am first and foremost a researcher, meaning I love to make questions as to what, why, who and how to a problem, did thorough review of current literature, and then dig into the messiness of data to find answers. Secondly, I\'m a data scientist by training, meaning I may not have an official degree in data scientist but through self-learning, trying and failing a couple times, I\'ve got to the point where the data world no longer puzzles me. I\'m intrigued by data and the ability to transform them into discoveries, insights and stories. Many of which may change our world. Finally, I\'m a learner. I believe that learning never ends with your education. It\'s a life-long process that is everywhere and anywhere that you are. It brings me great satisfaction to learn new skills and use them to conquer new challenges. Previously an academia, now working for the industry, I enjoy both world. I would like to keep doing what I love, and makes the world a better place. What I can bring to the table- Make and answer key questions to the pressing issues - Data skills that transform data into meaningful story - Domain knowledge of climate change, agriculture and environmental engineering - Big data, especially big climate data, handling and processing - Visualization and presentation - Teamwork and team spirit
