Senior🎓
Top SchoolSzymon Nakoneczny is an astrophysicist and machine learning researcher with a decade of experience applying ML to astronomical data, currently serving as Assistant Professor at the Center for Theoretical Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences. He previously worked as a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech on AGN detection in the Zwicky Transient Facility and uses active galactic nuclei as tracers for cosmology across surveys like KiDS and LOFAR. Trained with a PhD in astrophysics and strong computer science credentials from Jagiellonian and Radboud, he blends rigorous theory with production-oriented ML workflows developed during prior industry roles. His expertise spans time-domain astronomy, redshift estimation, and practical NLP/ML engineering—summed up by a personal motto that "NLP no longer exists," reflecting a focus on applied, cross-disciplinary solutions. Colleagues value his ability to lead survey-scale projects while keeping a coder’s eye for robust, deployable pipelines.
