Beneath all the apparent noise, there's logic — patterns waiting to be uncovered. Let's explore them, together.

ABOUT

Background & Expertise

I am a research scientist working at the intersection of physics, computation, and data. Over the past six years, I’ve worked with complex, high-dimensional datasets, from high-energy particle-collision events to real-world data, turning quantitative patterns into actionable insights. My work blends advanced computational methods with scientific problem-solving, and I’m motivated to apply this rigorous, analytical approach — together with modern AI tools — to meaningful real-world challenges.

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at IFIC, University of Valencia, and hold a PhD from the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics. My research has contributed to multiple peer-reviewed publications and international collaborations across physics and data-driven projects. I am also a Project Client Manager with Statistics Without Borders, and a freelance AI research contributor.
