About me
After almost 10 years of exciting research in atomic quantum physics, I entered a new journey and exploring now the vast and extremely dynamic field of data science and machine learning.
It is fascinating to see how much challenges (e.g.: optimization and high-dimensionality reduction) and strategies to solve them occur in both fields—physics and machine-learning.
