Machine Learning

I am currently pursuing a Machine Learning Master's degree at Mohamed Bin Zayed University of AI under the supervision of Dr. Bin Gu and Dr. Mohammad Yaqub. I hold a Bachelor's degree with a Major in Physics from the University of Melbourne. This degree was funded by a full scholarship awarded by the Ecuadorian Department of Higher Education, Science & Technology. My interests are research areas in optimization,  large-scale machine learning and application of AI within health & renewable energy industries.

I have developed analysis on marketing strategies, market exploration, and logistics optimization across the aviation, pharmaceutical and marketing industries. These analyses were done with skills that range from statistical techniques to machine learning methods. I have been applying these techniques on different programming languages such as R, Python, Spark, and data management tools like SQL. I am continually studying these and new tools to exploit the most out of large-scale information. 

My hobbies include reading literature on AI applications to industries, learning Japanese & French languages, and following the improvements on the efficiency of solar panel technologies. I believe that life is about giving the best of one-self for the benefit of most people.
