Sebastian Raschka
Some of my greatest passions are "Data Science" and machine learning. I enjoy everything that involves working with data: The discovery of interesting patterns and coming up with insightful conclusions using techniques from the fields of data mining and machine learning for predictive modeling.
I am a big advocate of working in teams and the concept of "open source." In my opinion, it is a positive feedback loop: Sharing ideas and tools that are useful to others and getting constructive feedback that helps us learn!
A little bit more about myself: Currently, I am sharpening my analytical skills as a PhD candidate at Michigan State University where I am currently working on a highly efficient virtual screening software for computer-aided drug-
