Thierry Warin, PhD

Hi! I’m Thierry Warin, Professor of Data Science for Global Transformations at HEC Montreal, principal investigator of the World Economy theme at CIRANO and Fellow at the Digital, Data and Design (D^3) Institute at Harvard Business School. I am also the founder of quantum simulations. I am an alumnus of the Harvard Business Analytics Program (HBAP 2020) and PhD from Essec Business School (2000).

Research

My research is primarily about Data Science for the study of Global Transformations, seen through two main dimensions: (1) the geographic changes, and (2) the technological changes. Both dimensions are strongly related. I use Data Science (GIS, R, Python and Julia) to study innovation, institutions, regulations and economic dynamics. I feel more confident knowing the new methods when I speak about their impacts on our societies (see some of my coding projects here). My interest is in particular in leveraging unstructured data through NLP. See in particular my Publications, Funded research, and my PhD students. I have put together a platform (full of code!) for my own research lab.nuance-r.com.

Teaching

Visit my courses and some pedagogical innovations. I have created a platform (also full of code!) for my students lab.warin.ca as well as a data platform Mondo international.

Students supervision

Philanthropic activities

  • I am the former founding president of edhaiti, an NGO I started in 2011 after a mission in Haïti for the Inter American Development Bank following the terrible 2010 earthquake. At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, I also created the maclasseenligne.org and Humanités numériques projects (see the EdTech menu).
  • I am currently working on Science des données au féminin en Afrique with researcher Bernice Bancole. It is a francophone initiative targeting 200 young ladies in Benin, etc. We provide a two-year long program, solving issues using R and other languages => data science for humanity.
