I'm Francisco Paz, I'm astronomer. Paz + Astronomer = paztronomer... Get it?
I'm not only interested in Astrophysics, but also in how we can connect different sciences under the machine learning umbrella, sharing knowledge and methods across.
I've recently moved to tech industry, using expertise from Astronomy into a new scenario. It has been a fun change, with new challenges and a whole new way of working.
Wondering what I do on my daily basis? Codes. A lot of them... some publics, some not. At my Github you'll find some of them.
Research interests
My research has been driven by many subjects... but I can condense it into 2: statistical methods for science in intense computing and time-domain astronomy. My interest goes beyond simply using them as black boxes: I like to detangle them, explore new perspectives, and push forward.
I'm passionate about interdisciplinarity and how far we can reach by sharing methods and strategies from one field to another. A topic of particular interest to me is radiology, where we can have loads of crossover.
Now I'm in industry, some new avenues are opening. It is still too early to tell, but some ideas are crystallising monthly.
