HCSS is pleased to announce that Emma Bokel has joined our team as a Data Science Officer!
In her previous role as Assistant Analyst, she contributed to the development of GINA (Geopolitical Interactive Network Analysis), worked on a critical raw materials dashboard, and provided data visuals for both the Strategic Monitor for the Police and the one for the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence. Starting as an intern at HCSS, Emma advanced to her current role as a Data Science Officer through her commitment and expertise.
Emma holds a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialisation in data science from TU Delft. During this time, she spent a semester taking graduate level computer science classes at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. She is on her way to get her MSc in Engineering and Policy Analysis from TU Delft, and did a second exchange semester in the US at Carnegie Mellon University’s school of Information Systems and Public Policy before coming back to work for HCSS.
On joining HCSS, she stated:
“I’m excited to return to HCSS in my new role as Data Science Officer. As someone deeply interested in both data science and public policy, especially in the field of geopolitics, the Data Lab at HCSS is a perfect fit. I’m particularly enthusiastic about the opportunity to apply my policy knowledge to support code design, and, on the other hand, to use my data background to critically analyse information for policy purposes.”
