About me
I am passionate about solving complex problems. One of the most sophisticated phenomena in nature is the relation between human body and mind, which I studied from both standpoints: the theoretical one – in cognitive science research, as well as practical and professional – in psychology and in the medicine. In order to utilize quantitative methods in my projects, I learner machine learning methodology, as well as object-oriented programming. Now I explore the possibilities of explaining human physiology and psychology with artificial intelligence approaches and advanced data analysis.
