Auburn, California

Alex spent the past 17 years working as a physicist, software engineer and data scientist. As a physicist, he worked on nonlinear dynamical systems and wrote computational fluid dynamics software for astrophysical simulations. As a software engineer, he worked on information indexing and retrieval systems (search engines). As a data scientist he developed and deployed analytics pipelines for performing statistical analysis, optimization and forecasting, based on large data sets, in various domains, such as e-commerce, advertising and finance.

His interests lie in the areas of Bayesian inference and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. He has experience applying such methods to causal inference, synthetic counterfactual analysis, and stochastic optimization and control problems.
