Summary

I am a PhD graduate from Cambridge University where I specialized in Tropical/Computational Ecology. I also hold an MPhil degree in Geography and Environment from Oxford University.I am also a Data Scientist as a result of my training and prowess in both statistics and machine learning. As a part of my research I have to carry out extensive data analysis, including spatial data analysis.or this purpose I prefer to use a combination of freeware tools- R, QGIS and Python.I do most of my spatial data analysis work using R and QGIS.
In addition to spatial data analysis, I am also proficient in statistical analysis, machine learning and data mining (using R and Python).I have honed my statistical and data analysis skills through a number of MOOCs including The Analytics Edge (R based statistics and machine learning course offered by EdX), Statistical Learning (R based Machine Learning course offered by Stanford online). Additionally I have published several peer reviewed papers and mentored several postgraduate students in these topics. I have a passion for these topics and greater passion of sharing my knowledge!!
