DATA SCIENTIST, RESEARCHER & ALGORITHM DEVELOPER
Experience researching and solving challenging problems during master research in string theory and
statistical field theory (specifically, reducing a multi-dimensional matrix model to an integrable system,
enabling the extraction of observable data in the form of thermodynamic quantities). Exercised ability to
apply, modify and formulate algorithms and the development of analytical methods using Mathematica.
Proven skills in model development and experiment simulation using C++/ROOT during internships at
both the LHC at CERN (top quark detection modeling) and with the MIND experiment (simulation of
ability to measure CP violation in a toroidal Magnetized Iron Neutrino Detector). Demonstrated ability to
access databases and manipulating large data sets, separating signal from noise and statistical
fluctuations from systematic errors, making data-driven insights, formulating hypotheses and methods,
both experimental and analytical. Experience writing programs to visualize data, primarily with GNU
Plot, MATLAB and Maple. Enjoyed working in this collaborative environment that implements source
code management using SVN and Mercurial.

2. EXPERIENCE
Founder & Director, Advancement of Civilization Effort 05/2012-07/2016
Advancement of Civilization Effort (ACE) is a nonprofit that was founded in 2012 to provide a practical
conscientious response to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and transhumanism. These cutting-
edge technologies are providing many new opportunities for mankind, but they also come with several
ethical concerns and responsibilities, of which the intention of ACE is to generate solutions.
• Project Namaste: R&D for prototypes using machine learning, neural networks, deep learning,
artificial intelligence, using TensorFlow and Python. Initiated both experimentation and the design
of our own devices and software.
