About

My interest in interdisciplinary approach to solving problems has led me to working on research projects in a range of engineering applications. By education and work experience, I am proficient in applying computational mechanics and multi-physics analysis for scientific research and R&D projects. <br> I am also driven by data science to create new ways of approaching difficult problems. I envision a future where the application of machine and deep learning leads to a more connected world where tasks are accomplished more efficiently and decisions are made more knowledgeably. The mega-project that I am currently working on as a Data Scientist is applying deep learning and time series analysis for pricing financial options.
