Interdisciplinary Researcher, with education in Electical Engineering, Financial Engineering, AI and Informetrics.

Profile Summary

I am an University Assistant Professor of Library & Information Sciences with a unique Engineering and Quantitative Finance background (MScFE). I bridge the gap between complex data science and academic research. Unlike traditional researchers, I build custom code (Python) to analyze bibliographic and financial data, ensuring higher precision than standard manual methods. I specialize in helping researchers, institutions, and FinTech companies make sense of massive unstructured datasets. Moreover, I have special interest in Data related to Social Informatics, Informetrics and Astroinformatics.
