About

I am an astronomer with experience in large-scale data analysis and statistical modelling. My scientific research focused on studying Extra-Solar planets and their characterisation. In my research I developed unique predictive methods to extract and utilize low-signal data. After several years in academia I am looking for opportunities to use my skills in new ways. My ideal job will be in a non-profit organization, working with underprivileged, children or in the public sector.
