Jonathan Gordon
Stony Brook
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.
