Scott Gorlin, Ph.D., is an executive and leader of applied science and machine learning, with a particular emphasis on enabling data scientists to enhance - and reproduce - their work through code.  A programmer by hobby since elementary school, Dr. Gorlin quickly realized the potential of applying foundational and advanced programming concepts to research and development, and has worked to enhance his and his teams’ coding standards and practices since the beginnings of his professional career.

This aspect of his work evolved into teaching a formal graduate course, Advanced Python for Data Science, which is offered through Harvard Extension School’s degree and certificate programs in machine learning.

Dr. Gorlin received his doctoral degree in 2011 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Computational and Systems Neuroscience, and went on to lead R&D for Choicestream, an ad-tech firm.  He currently is Senior Director of Enterprise Science and Trusted AI at Liberty Mutual, and continues to teach Advanced Python at Harvard Extension School in his free time.
