CSSS will be hosting Trey Causey for a seminar on Wednesday, Jan. 24th at 12:30 in 409 Savery Hall and on Zoom (register here). Trey Causey completed his concentration in social statistics at CSSS while a PhD student in Sociology at UW. He currently is the Head of Responsible AI and Senior Director of Data Science at Indeed, the world’s #1 job site in the world and has worked at the intersection of statistics, data science, and machine learning in sports, at startups, and at large social media platforms. Learn more about the talk here.
Abstract: This talk will be a mix of one CSSS alumnus’s career journey through the tech industry, how CSSS prepared me to work in data science and machine learning, and to lead Indeed’s Responsible AI team. I’ll discuss navigating non-academic careers in both boom times and lean times and also dive into some of the methodological specifics of what working in responsible AI entails.
