About

I am a Mathematician and Data Scientist with a PhD in Geometric Optimization. During my academic journey I polished my expertise in geometric analysis, combinatorial optimization, and algorithm design, the foundations I continue to apply daily in industry.Since completing my PhD, I have worked as a Data Scientist and R&D Consultant, contributing to projects where mathematics, optimization, and machine learning converge. I helped build a digital twin of a real-world warehouse and developed an optimized bin-packing solution tailored to the facility’s physical constraints. I am also part of a fusion stellarator project, applying machine learning techniques to explore optimal designs for what could become a key energy technology of the future. Currently, I’m working on assignment optimization in logistics settings, once again integrating mathematical rigor with practical warehouse operations. During my doctoral research, I explored rich geometric concepts—such as Voronoi diagrams, a cornerstone of self-driving navigation—these concepts continue to influence the way I design and reason about algorithms. I enjoy diving into machine learning methods, expanding my knowledge, and combining theory with real-world applications. Python remains my main tool for turning mathematical ideas into robust, scalable solutions.I always welcome thoughtful discussions on innovative problem-solving and exchanging ideas.
