Data Scientist

Physicist by training, Data Scientist by trade

I am a newly minted physics PhD looking to transfer my skills to the Data Science industry. I’m passionate about estimating uncertainties in a model’s output, and I love good visualizations that compare raw data to a model’s predictions.

For hiring teams, please visit my portfolio section to view and interact with my completed projects, or visit my blog too see what problems I’ve been thinking about.

News:

  • April 2024 — My R package ClusterByDensity can now be used to find clusters in 2D point-spread datasets. Read about it here!
