Experience

• 

  Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg, Germany

  Oct 2011 - Sept 2013

  Postdoctoral Researcher in Particle Physics

  I studied several models of beyond the Standard Model Physics, in particular trying to address the issues of Dark Matter and Neutrino Masses. Connected to it, I proposed a new model. Also, I collaborated for the computation of the NLO ElectroWeak and QCD corrections to the top quark decay width and I co-tutored 2 PhD students. Furthermore, I served as theoretical consultant for the ATLAS PhD student.

  Université de Strasbourg

  Oct 2013 - Sept 2015

  Postdoctoral Researcher in Particle Physics

  I did Monte Carlo events generation and analysis for beyond the Standard Model processes, in particular concerning flavour-changing processes involving the top quark in a model-independent way, and their reinterpretation especially with respect to vector-like quarks. Furthermore, I also served as theoretical consultant for the CMS group.

  Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille (CPPM; CNRS/IN2P3 - Aix-Marseille University)

  Oct 2015 - Apr 2016

  Postdoctoral Researcher in Particle Physics

  I did Monte Carlo events generation and analysis for beyond the Standard Model processes. In particular, I was part of a collaboration checking the theoretical availability of models trying to explain the recent 750 GeV excess. I co-tutored 1 PhD Atlas student and a Physics Master student. Furthermore, I also served as theoretical consultant for the ATLAS group.

  Data Scientist

  I was a member of an Agile Analytics team of 7 individuals, reporting into Head of Analytics and embedded in the Commercial Team and Trading Squad. I rapidly developed into a pivotal point of contact for data and insights for the whole business. I was responsible for the analysis of Commercial performance and KPIs; creation and automation of reports and trackers; designing, forecasting, reporting and optimising promotional activities and price tests. Key Achievements:- I created an end-to-end classifier to predict card occasion and recipient, parsing text written on card (based on BoW and XGBoost). I deployed the final model into the production ETL- I performed a clustering analysis to categorise our buyers to segment the database (with k-means in scikit-learn)- I created and automated the Commercial weekly and daily KPI reports (google sheets), as well as all trackers (also hourly) for activities during special events- I developed a framework for planning and analysing experiments regarding price and promotional activities (aim-hypothesis-KPI-results)- I analysed our customers in cohorts, creating a framework to benchmark the 3 years grows plan in line with the Financial team- I created the POC pipeline for the extension of the database to include COGS Show less
