RESEARCH

I consider myself as a passionate researcher looking into variety of issues related to extracting knowledge from data.

My natural curiosity combined with high-profile computational skills and solid multidisciplinary knowledge allows me

not only to tackle complex problems found in nature and business but also understand, simulate and interpret the

underlying phenomena. I am particularly interested in data mining and knowledge discovery methodology applied to

scientific and business problems, modelling and simulation of complex phenomena, machine learning and pattern rec-

ognition. I am involved in, a number of research projects and business ventures that either downstream new business

analytics technologies or bring value from new research prototypes, patents, consultancies and licensed deals.
