Background

I am a biochemical physicist turned data scientist with a passion for ML, DL and everything numbers. I earned my PhD in protein structure analysis, continued my research career at Novo Nordisk and I am now working as a senior data scientist at NTT Data.

Motivation

I have always had a passion for teaching and sharing knowledge. I find that by breaking down complex topics and explaining them to others, I gain a better understanding of the material myself. Whether I’m teaching advanced concepts to management or simplifying ideas for younger students, I appreciate the opportunity to engage with my field in a deeper way.

Teaching also allows me to meet people with diverse backgrounds and job profiles. I enjoy learning about their perspectives and how they approach problems. These interactions have broadened my horizons and enriched my understanding of the subjects I teach.

I was a mentor in the 23/24 iteration and loved it. I had 2 mentees that I helped along their paths, finding a job/career and writing a thesis, respectively.
