Alix has experience with polymer process research, high-throughput research, machine learning for manufacturing troubleshooting, and data-driven product development. Her interest and experience in materials informatics allow her to lead technical data science strategy at Dow, and she has presented and chaired at the AIChE spring meeting on this topic.

Kristin Wallace earned a BS in chemical engineering (2006) and an MS in applied science (optimization focus) (2008) at McMaster University. She has worked on a variety of analytics projects since joining ProSensus Inc. in 2018 as a project engineer in Burlington, Ontario. Her particular interest in product formulation using projection to latent structures (PLS) has led her to be involved with related consulting projects, contributing to the development of FormuSense (commercial software), authoring blogs and magazine articles, as well as presenting and chairing at several AIChE spring meetings. Prior to working at ProSensus, she spent five years designing and troubleshooting non-ferrous electric arc furnaces.
