Alex

My on my new shiny mathstodon.xyz account! I'm slowly deprecating my @alexmath account but I'm kinda bad at fediverse stuff 😅

Hi all! I am Alex (she/her), a mathematician with a PhD in extremal combinatorics now working in as a data scientist. I am a deeply curious experimentalist and I love to learn different topics. My favorite programming languages are and but I've had some fun with GPGPU, too :) I like machine learning as a scientific problem-solving tool, but not the stuff that involves weapons, theft, and violence.

Presently, I live in with my fluffy orange cat Angus and my partner. I got a new bike and wish I could lose the car forever. Still masking in public. Still getting vaccines. Eternally exhausted, but hopeful and curious.

Fediverse etiquette suggestions welcome!

@riasanalex @alexmath Welcome welcome!

I'm sure you already know this, but in your old account, you can set your profile to say "Hey I've moved over ---> HERE" which will help people make the transition with you.

Does your work with combinatorics overlap with category theory at all? I'm taking a course on that right now, or trying to. The lectures keep losing me but I'm told to not let that get in my way :)

@feoh @alexmath not really. Category theory is a good organizing principle across a few fields, though. My favorite species of combinatorics overlaps more with functional analysis than anything
