A Little About Me
Hi! I’m Irene Alisjahbana (pronounced Alisha-bana), a scientist, research, educator and designer who combines technical expertise with creative design thinking. With a PhD in Structural Engineering from Stanford, I have experience applying generative AI, machine learning, and data science across various fields, from disaster recovery, to transportation and instruction, to education. I believe that the intersection of data and design offers limitless possibilities for solving complex problems, and my work reflects this unique approach. Whether I’m doing novel research, creating art, or teaching, I’m driven by a passion for bridging the gap between technology and creativity.
I am currently a Staff Data Scientist at Udemy Inc where I am working on generative AI initiatives that revolutionize the way we learn. I am also a lecturer at Stanford University’s d.school teaching Creativity in Research Scholars and The Design of Data.
