Thomas Wood

I am a Consultant Data Scientist with my own consultancy, Fast Data Science.
I help organisations extract value from unstructured data with AI and machine learning. I specialise in text (natural language processing), images, and healthcare/pharmaceuticals.
If an organisation has large volumes of text data, incoming emails to triage, insurance reports, legal or scientific documents, I am the right person to leverage machine learning to extract useful information from the materials.
Career
I originally studied Physics to Masters level at the University of Durham, UK. I moved into the machine learning field in 2007, completing a second Masters in Computer Speech, Text and Internet Technology at the University of Cambridge in 2008.
Since then I have stayed in the exciting field of machine learning for more than 10 years. I have worked in a variety of companies in industries including consulting, pharmaceuticals, computer science, recruitment, retail and security, as well as some research experience.
Since 2018 I have been working as a freelance data scientist consultant, helping large organisations around the globe extract value from unstructured data such as text and images.
