Dr. Emilie Purvine is a Chief Data Scientist and Team Lead for Complex Data Models at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Her academic background is in pure mathematics, with a bachelor's degree from University of Wisconsin - Madison and a PhD from Rutgers University where she studied enumerative combinatorics and discrete dynamics. Her research since joining PNNL in 2011 has focused on applications of combinatorics and computational topology together with theoretical advances needed to support the applications. Over her time at PNNL Emilie has been both principal investigator and technical staff on a number of projects in applications ranging from computational chemistry and biology to cyber security and power grid modeling. Her current research uses complex mathematical models to develop cyber analytics, study machine learning models for interpretability, and enhance digital biosecurity.

The talk will be followed by an informal Q&A with food and beverages.
