I am a Data Scientist with experience in natural language processing, machine learning, data analytics, agent-based modelling and evolutionary game theory. I apply my computational skills to areas such as the labour market, research funding, searching for policy impact, and modelling human behaviour. I am interested in helping socially responsible organisations make good use of their data.I am currently a data scientist at Nesta where, amongst other things, I am processing job adverts to understand skill demands and changes. I was previously at the Wellcome Trust where I applied machine learning models to help understand the influence of Wellcome Trust funding. In my PhD at UCL I developed an agent-based cultural evolutionary model for the origins of agriculture. I identified some of the key parameters of interaction between individuals which may have led to the independent development of agriculture and sedentism. I was part of UCL's Centre for Mathematics, Physics and Engineering in the Life Sciences and Experimental Biology (CoMPLEX) and the Molecular and Cultural Evolution (MACE) lab. I also worked with people from the Department of Computer Science and Institute of Archaeology.Github: https://github.com/lizgzilResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Elizabeth_Gallagher4Medium: https://lizgzil.medium.com/
