At Zalando, Nour Karessli is a Senior Applied Scientist focused on computer vision and machine learning driven solutions for one of fashion e-commerce’s hardest problems: helping millions of customers find clothes that actually fit. Her work combines deep learning research with the product thinking required to ship features at scale for a leading European e-commerce platform.

Beyond her product work, Nour is a committed community builder. She sits on the organizing committee of the Zalando Data Science Community and the Zalando Women in Tech Employee Resource Group, and she co-organized the Women in Computer Vision (WiCV) workshop at the CVPR conference, an effort to raise the visibility of female researchers and share experiences between students and professionals.

She completed her Master’s degree in Computer Science at Saarland University and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. Outside of work she enjoys walking in nature, video games, and cooking.
