I finished my study in observational astrophysics at the University of California, Riverside. Most of my work was applying statistical modeling of large galaxy surveys. Nowdays I work as a data scientist in a tech company. I am generally very interested in science, mathematics
and technology. And I enjoy conversations and specially debates from time to time. I could be both laconic and gregarious based on the topic.

I love to travel and I hope I could do that more often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is pretty amazing to have the opportunity to be someone's guest or host for couple of days meanwhile learning about their cultures and making new friends.

Interests

Observational cosmology is my main interest as a PhD student. But I also like pretty much anything related to physical sciences, mathematics, and computer science.
I love to read (books, newspapers, reports, articles) .
Listening to music is another one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach physics, astronomy, statistics especially through Bayesian framework

I love to learn about science (obviously), and different cultures, music genre, languages, politics, and literatures.
