@zahraetesami
Physics researcher and data scientist specializing in machine learning.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated physics researcher and data scientist with a PhD in Solid-State Physics from the University of Tehran. My journey began as a physics teacher, where I ignited a passion for science in high school students. This foundation led me to explore the realms of theoretical and computational physics, culminating in a postdoctoral research position where I investigated nanoscale systems and their interactions.
Currently, I work as an AI and machine learning specialist at PFK Vision, focusing on deep learning models for machine vision tasks. My experience spans various roles, including simulation specialist and data scientist at ASHA, where I implemented machine learning methods for business analysis and developed AI-based APIs. I am also actively engaged in algorithmic trading projects, leveraging my technical analysis skills and knowledge of machine learning applications in finance.
