What is your current position/job, and how did you use IDS master’s experience/its courses to acquire this position? 

I am currently a Data Scientist at JobPricing in Italy, where I develop data analytics pipelines, build dashboards, manage SQL databases, and conduct statistical modelling on labour and compensation datasets. My IDS master’s experience played a central role, strengthening analytical thinking, exposing me to multidisciplinary approaches, and providing hands-on training with international datasets. 

How was it to study in Olomouc? What were the major challenges? 

Studying in Olomouc was enriching. The city is peaceful and ideal for academic focus. Challenges included adapting to a new academic system, language barriers a significantly different society, challenges that strengthened my resilience and independence. 

What were your biggest learnings during the master’s course? 

Key learnings included integrating social, economic, and environmental perspectives, collaborating in multicultural settings, working with complex datasets, and developing critical thinking and methodological rigor particularly during the semester in France and Italy. 

What features from the courses taught do you use in your daily job/position? 

I use quantitative and qualitative research methods daily, along with policy analysis and foresight perspectives.
