Atoosa Nasiri is a Cloud Architect and Senior Data Scientist at TELUS, where she leads initiatives that merge large-scale cloud infrastructure with applied AI to drive data-driven innovation across enterprise operations. She earned her PhD in Virtualization and Computer Networking, with research focused on optimizing distributed systems and cloud resource efficiency — a foundation that continues to inform her approach to building scalable, intelligent, and resilient AI systems.

Before coming to Canada, Atoosa lived, studied, and worked in Singapore, where she contributed to research and industry projects in IoT systems, smart grids, and edge-cloud integration. Her work during that period bridged academia and applied innovation, advancing the deployment of intelligent, interconnected infrastructures for sustainable urban systems.

With over two decades of experience spanning cloud architecture, AI strategy, and data analytics, Atoosa’s work is guided by a core principle: truly effective technology must be inclusive by design. She is a strong advocate for gender diversity in AI and believes equitable representation is key to building fair and trustworthy systems.
