Personal Introduction
Coming from a background in physics -- specifically, designing and developing radiation detectors -- and having worked in the industry for several years, the exposure to vast amount of data has been inevitable. The most exciting part of physics is the mysteries it solves, more often than not, by complicated equations, which are these days more tangible thanks to the internet and the collective efficacy of enthusiastic people who invest time and put in the effort to break down complicated things to each and every recipient's comprehension. The explicit nature of physics aids in solving problems once the proper equations are at hand, whereas in data science inputs and outputs are not (necessarily) explicitly correlated and one needs to rely on computers to find the appropriate model that describes the data. Fortunately, and/or unfortunately, the modern society is heavily relied on data and, in turn, on professional data analysts. Therefore, to cope with this r...
