It's rightly been said that to learn the best, you must learn from the finest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning is a process that is continuous in nature. In order to learn something, you need to commit to the process of understanding the nitty-gritty of the subject. But at the same time, your learning process is enhanced when you have examples of people who have excelled in the same field. It not only gives you a perspective but also gives your efforts a direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are someone who is beginning his\/her journey in data science or is looking for more inspiration to step up, this piece of work is for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we are going to talk about the top data scientists in the world who have brought significant impact in the field of data science with their contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 9. Andreas Kretz <\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What is the similarity between plumbing and data science? Well, yes don't worry, I am not going off the topic! Most people think that data science is all about building machine learning models that are uber-cool and make awesome predictions. 

In reality, building these models is a subset of the workflow and data engineering, i.e. the plumber of data science plays a pivotal role in this workflow that supports data science projects. Andreas is an expert when it comes to data engineering and building up big data platforms that support data science projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The list of top data scientists in the world mentioned above is by no means exhaustive. These are just some of the top data scientists in the world who have a major fanbase and they've turned many data science enthusiasts into professionals with their guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a technology enthusiast, I feel it is a responsibility to give back to my community and this is another reason that motivates me to share all the interesting information I have with you all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoyed reading the article. Do check out the profiles mentioned above and who knows, you might just find your mentor amongst these top data scientists in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for an online program in data science<\/a> to learn data science, you can also have a look at the Post Graduate Program in Data Science program by McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin. This is a 6-month long program that follows a mentored learning model<\/strong> to help you learn and practice. Each weekend, you participate in live and interactive mentored learning sessions in small groups<\/strong>. It is one of the best data science certifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In these sessions, you practice hands-on case studies, clarify your questions, and get industry insights from your mentor (who will be a practicing data scientist from a leading company). The program follows a structured approach (not self-paced)<\/strong> where you learn via recorded video lectures and practice on quizzes during the week, take part in mentored learning sessions during the weekends, and then apply your learnings to solve real-world problems via projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
