Thomas Wood

Director, Fast Data Science Ltd

I grew up in London, and studied physics as my first degree, and then did a masters in natural language processing in 2008 in Cambridge University. After finishing my studies, I moved abroad for a few years to Germany and then Spain, and I worked for a number of small and large companies in data science and NLP, and AI gradually became a hot topic. I came back to the UK in 2014 and in 2018, I founded Fast Data Science (fastdatascience.com), so I could work as a freelance consultant in natural language processing and machine learning. I now work on a number of consulting projects in pharmaceuticals as well as the Clinical Trial Risk Tool (https://clinicaltrialrisk.org/), and the Harmony porject, which is an open source tool which assists psychologists and other researchers in combining datasets and discovering data using unstructured text (https://harmonydata.ac.uk/).
