Sorelle Friedler

Sorelle Alaina Friedler is an American computer scientist who is an Associate Professor at Haverford College.

[2] Friedler joined Alphabet Inc. as a software engineer,[1][3] where she worked with X on the development of weather balloons that can provide internet access to remote communities.

[citation needed] Friedler has worked with Josh Schrier and Alexander Norquist on the application of data mining to accelerate materials discovery.

[7] To create the tool, they compiled a database of almost 4,000 chemical reactions, wrote an algorithm that could mine for patterns in data and provide insight about why some experiments fail while others succeed.

[8] The algorithm was correct 89% of the time, whilst researchers (human) predictions only had a 78% success rate.
