Kira Radinsky

Kira Radinsky (Hebrew: קירה רדינסקי‎; born July 28, 1986) is a Ukraine-born Israeli computer scientist, inventor and entrepreneur, specializing in predictive data mining. She gained recognition after her software predicted the first in 130 years outbreak of cholera in Cuba. The prediction was made based on the pattern identified by mining of 150 years of data from various sources: in poor countries, floods within a year after a draught often follow by a cholera outbreak. The disaster-prediction software was developed together with Eric Horvitz while she was an intern at the Microsoft Research during her Ph.D. work at the Technion.
