Driving Innovation with Data:I am working on a whole new way where the term Data Science is not just used to add gloss to a Company's vision and/or strategy, but actually offers meaningful business insights for evidence based decision making and actions! From Finance to E-commerce, from Risk management to Marketing, I have applied my deep knowledge of statistics and artificial intelligence combined with Big-Data technology and advocate its potential of changing the way business is conducted, with state-of-the-art technology and algorithms revolutionising existing concepts and models in practically every area. In my past avatar I was an astronomer, focusing on understanding the formation of galaxies and tracking their evolution over the course of time. Through my career in academia I have developed tools for analysis of several billions of objects and Petabytes of heterogeneous data, tackling the "Big" in "Big-Data", and built data centers, contributing to the Virtual-Observatory efforts worldwide. I published over 120 articles in high impact-factor peer-reviewed journals (till date >10,000 citations; h-index=50)
Listed skills include Data Analysis, Statistics, Machine Learning, Physics, and 45 others.
