Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Forero-sánchez is a postdoctoral researcher and physicist with 11 years of experience bridging cosmology and geoscience through large-scale data analysis and scientific software. He holds a PhD in Astrophysics from EPFL and has spent 5+ years working with cosmological survey data and 4+ years building ML models in Python and Julia, deploying them in massively parallel environments using C/C++ when performance matters. An active member of one of the largest scientific collaborations worldwide, he combines rigorous research with practical teaching and developer roles—from creating interactive IPython teaching resources to mentoring students. He’s as comfortable tuning PyTorch or JAX models as he is applying geoscience insights to interpret astrophysical signals, bringing a rare cross-disciplinary perspective that accelerates both discovery and reproducible software.
