About

Physicist passionate about tech world!

I am a computational physicist. My daily work consists in solving problems, creating statistical and mathematical models and implementing them into computer algorithms. I have experience working with databases and computer simulations and also presenting weekly updates to clients. My coding skills are mainly in Python, MySQL, Matlab and also a bit of Fortran. My PhD project requires the management of large amount of data obtained from simulations in highly scattering media. I describe those processes statistically and extract valuable information from the data. The skills acquired in this project are transferable to several other scenarios.

• Searched referenced data about essential economics and social indicators: wealth and income distribution, land and house ownership rates (private, state, and communal), Gini index, education spending per capita, internet users, employee ownership companies and stock option plans (ESOP). • Developed linear regressions, setting the Gini coefficients against these factors and performed statistical tests to determine the correlation, nature and strength of these relationships between variables. • Established conclusions about the relevance of these indicators with respect to the reduction of inequality in the world, measured in terms of the Gini coefficient.
