Cournapeau graduated with a MSc in Electrical Engineering from Telecom Paristech, Paris in 2004, and obtained his PhD in Computer Science at Kyoto University, Japan, in the domain of speech recognition.[3]

Career

The scikit-learn project started as scikits.learn, a Google Summer of Code project by David Cournapeau. After having worked for Silveregg, a SaaS Japanese company delivering recommendation systems for Japanese online retailers,[3] he worked for 6 years at Enthought, a scientific consulting company. He joined Cogent Labs, a Japanese Deep Learning/AI company, in 2017.[4] He is a Machine Learning Engineering Manager at Mercari, Inc.[5]

Cournapeau has also been involved in the development of other central numerical Python libraries: NumPy and SciPy.[6][7]
