Summary
Andy Park is a Physics PhD candidate at Carnegie Mellon University who applies machine learning to problems in computational and observational cosmology, with nine years of research and engineering experience. He has built and optimized CNNs and ResNets for galaxy tomography and image modeling using PyTorch and JAX, and has scaled simulations and GPU workflows for DESI and LSST projects. His background in physics, mathematics, and computer science enables him to bridge theoretical modeling (e.g., Schrödinger equation simulations for dark matter) with practical data-driven pipelines for large survey datasets. Active in DESI and the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, he combines hands-on coding, cluster workflows, and mentor experience to deliver reproducible scientific software. Notably, he has experience generating large synthetic image datasets and optimizing Fisher matrix computations for GPU execution—skills that accelerate analysis at survey scale.
