Dr Karolina Krzemieniewska-Nandwani

Who am I?

I am a Research Associate at the Man Met Crime and Well-Being Big Data Centre.

My research focuses on application of advanced statistical methods to analysis of large datasets related to crime, policing and health.

I have been working with industrial partners for the past 7 years. I have gained invaluable experience in developing methods, which are applicable to datasets that do not always conform to statistical assumptions.

Academic and professional qualifications

PhD in Statistics, Lancaster University, 2013

MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Lancaster University, 2009

MSc in Biotechnology, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, 2008

Previous employment

For three years, I was an Engineering Consultant, working for Perceptive Engineering. My responsibilities involved developing and deploying multivariable statistical models, which enabled optimised control of manufacturing processes. My main fields of application were pharmaceuticals, domestic products and pulp & paper.

As a member of the STOR-i Doctorate Centre in Lancaster, I was able to pursue my PhD research in collaboration with an industrial partner – Unilever. The successful development of a sound classification tool improved the product development process and reduced the in-house consumer testing costs.

I joined a Statistics and Chemometrics Group in Shell as part of my degree in Management Science. I was involved in development of a prediction toolbox as well as business solutions and inventory control projects.
