About Me

Hi there! I’m a data scientist at Kayrros, where I apply machine learning and statistics to solve problems related to climate change and the energy transition. My public work mainly consists in academic paper co-authorship. If you feel like you want to collaborate on some topic or have a nice chat on science stuff, don’t hesitate to reach out!
