Jyldyz Djumalieva is a Data Science Research Fellow at Nesta. She is leading on a stream of labour market research work for ESCoE (the Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence). Prior to joining Nesta Jyldyz was a Data Analyst at the Bank of England where she worked on projects involving text mining, social media analysis and graph databases. Jyldyz completed a MSc with distinction in Big Data Analytics from the Sheffield Hallam University and a MSc in Organisational Psychology from the University of Hartford, CT. As part of ESCoE, Jyldyz has created the first data-driven classification of skills in the UK that is publicly available. The classification was created by using a dataset of 41 million UK online job adverts and by applying machine learning methods, such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), document clustering, and distributed word representations. The resulting classification provides a consistent way of measuring skills shortages at a granular level, and provides the first link between skills and job titles which in turn could be used to improve careers advice.

I lead the Digital State Project at the Bennett Institute for Public Policy at the University of Cambridge. The Project seeks to improve the capacities of governments around the world as users, developers, and regulators of digital and emerging technologies. My current research and policy engagement focus on the emergence and governance of GovTech innovation ecosystems, in which small, innovative technology providers serve government as client. My work is international, including (to date) Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East.
As one of the first staff member of the Bennett Institute, I also contribute broadly on strategy. I am engaged in postgraduate teaching at Cambridge, and offer advisory services to public institutions and SMEs.
I am the author of Thinking about GovTech: A brief guide for policymakers, a Bennett Institute publication that provides an introduction to GovTech on a global scale and 8 recommendations for fostering GovTech innovation ecosystems and steering them towards positive outcomes for citizens and public administrators.
