Hello! I'm Sam, a data scientist in the R&D division of NielsenIQ, where I work on both theoretical and applied problems in targeted marketing, clustering, and price optimization. I was previously a math postdoc at University of Missouri and University of Manitoba, and before that I received my PhD in math at University of Illinois at Chicago. My advisor was Shmuel Friedland. Apart from math and data science, I enjoy biking, board games, and playing the bouzouki.
