Physicist by training, Data Scientist by trade
I’m a Medical Physics researcher for internal radiation treatments of cancer. My background is in theoretical physics, with my PhD specializing in Effective Field Theories of QCD. In addition to the software development involved with physics, I’ve completed various passion projects from my “hobby programming”, including a desktop app for curve-fitting, and a VR game published on Steam.
News:
- February 2025 — I’ve accepted a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Carleton Laboratory for Radiation Physics. Good to be back!
- October 2024 — I’ve put out a new blog post called Comparing Classifer Perforance – and Introduction to BEA where I grapple with the problem of comparing the performance of classification models when their class cardinalities differ.
- April 2024 — My R package ClusterByDensity can now be used to find clusters in 2D point-spread datasets. Read about it here!
- December 2023 — I’ve uploaded my DataCamp final project that goes through the entire pipeline of data cleaning, exploratory analysis, model building, and model appraisal.
- November 2023 — Tutorial pages for MIW’s AutoFit are now live.
- October 2023 — I’ve built a rudimentary sentiment analysis model using Kaggle’s Netflix Movie Rating dataset. I deployed the model to an EC2-instance so that you can check it out for yourself! Or read the blog post here.
- August 2023 — Completed DataCamp’s Professional Data Scientist certification.
- March 2023 — I stumbled across a code golf stack exchange post about quickly factoring large prime numbers using a Multiple Polynomial Quadratic Sieve. I’ve immortalized the post’s content in my FastFactor repo, updated for Python 3.x
- December 2022 — MIW’s AutoFit is now available for download.
