Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Santana is a Senior Data Scientist with nine years of multidisciplinary experience applying computational modeling, machine learning, and data assimilation across mechatronics, oceanography, neuroscience, biology and physics. He holds a PhD in Neuroscience and a background in mechatronics and computer science, which lets him bridge rigorous research methods with production ML at travel tech company eDreams ODIGEO and previously at the Balearic ocean modelling centre SOCIB. He’s co-founded a data-science consulting outfit and has hands-on experience turning complex simulation and observational workflows into deployable analytics. Based in Palma, his work often sits at the intersection of physical modelling and statistical learning—tackling noisy, real-world systems rather than textbook datasets. Colleagues value his ability to translate domain-specific models into robust data-driven solutions that scale beyond prototypes.
