Imre Risi Kondor

So far I've been a mathematician turned physicist turned computer scientist turned mathematician again. I am finishing a PhD at Columbia in Machine Learning that hopefully shows that group theory and representation theory can really be useful for solving real world learning and estimation problems on computers. I am also looking into integrating machine learning models into GCMs (general circulation models) that are used to predict the Earth's climate. In general, I am interested in the interplay between modern statistical methods (such as machine learning) and the natural sciences.

By the way, in the English speaking world I go by my middle name. People just call me Risi, pronounced "ri-shi".
