About Me

I am Agniva (Bengali: অগ্নিভ, pronounced as 'og-nee-vo') and welcome to my personal webpage.

I am a Data Science professional with extensive experience in programming, statistics and mathematical modeling. I have a strong background in computational astrophysics, statistics, object-oriented programing, predictive analytics, big data processing, distributed computing, numerical optimizations and machine learning.

Currently I am working as a Senior Data Scientist at Target Corporation. I did my doctoral studies in Astrophysics from University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. My dissertation research was mainly focussed on mapping mass distibutions in clusters of galaxies using free-form numerical optimization techniques such as Genetic Algorithm. Before that I graduated from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur with my Masters in Physics and from Univeristy of Calcutta with my Bachelor in Physics.
