@luciekuczynski
Experienced data scientist with a decade in data analysis and research.
What I'm looking for
With over 10 years of experience in data analysis and research, I have honed my expertise in managing large relational databases and conducting advanced statistical analyses. My proficiency in R has been pivotal in delivering actionable insights from complex datasets, and I am currently expanding my technical skills in Python and SQL through self-directed learning. My work is centered around improving data workflows and translating complex data into meaningful solutions for decision-making.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to significant research projects, including my post-doctoral work at the University of Oldenburg, where I synthesized allometric and stoichiometric regulation of spatial dynamics, resulting in six published scientific publications and three international talks. I have also played a vital role in coordinating a national research unit proposal, integrating the efforts of 50 researchers to enhance our understanding of biodiversity.
My academic journey includes a PhD in Community Ecology from the University of Toulouse, where I published six scientific papers and taught over 200 hours of undergraduate courses. I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of scientists, having supervised a PhD student in data analysis, which contributed to their successful thesis defense. I am committed to leveraging my skills to drive impactful research and foster collaboration in the scientific community.
