#11 - Data Science in Research with Sakshi Mishra

So you want to be a data scientist?

Curious about how data science and machine learning contributes to renewable energy research? In this episode, Sakshi Mishra from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) joins me to talk about her journey and her work. NREL is part of the United States Department of Energy and its main goal is to innovate on renewable energy and energy efficiency.

We talk about how the lab comes up with research projects to work on, how she uses ML in these projects and how these projects are used in the real world. Apart from her work, we also talk about how she ended up where she is and what qualification she needed to get this job that quite honestly, sounds very dreamy.

Give it a listen to get inspired about applications of ML in research!
