Data Scientist

@ Elisa

Hi there,

I am Maria and I am passionate about machine learning and building data analysis tools. I am based in Helsinki, Finland, and I work at Elisa, a Finnish telecommunications company.

In the past, I have done research in academia in various fields, ranging from in silico experiments of protein dynamics, through quantitative linguistics and NLP, to preseismic electromagnetics.

I built this website using the blogdown R package and Hugo, and in the photo on the left I am sitting in a forest somewhere in central Finland.
