Summary

Experienced researcher with demonstrated skills in programming and data analysis. Recently completed a PhD in physics, where I utilized computational techniques and machine learning to construct an enhanced pipeline for cosmological modeling. Proficient in Python, with supplementary experience in C, C++, and Fortran. With a robust foundation in mathematics and programming, I am eager to transition into the field of data science, aiming to apply my skills and contribute effectively.

Work History

Research Assistant

SUNY Stony Brook University
08.2021 - Current
  • Worked in the field of Theoretical Cosmology where I used experimental data to constrain models of dark energy
  • Used Python to implement Gaussian Process Regression and Neural Networks to emulate results from N-body simulations
  • Tested the performance of these emulators in MCMCs, assessing the viability of this pipeline for future cosmological analyses
  • Modified numerical solvers in C++ and Fortran to test novel cosmological models
