Roman Gorbunov

With twelve years of academic research experience in the natural sciences, where I earned two PhDs, I've transitioned into a career with over a decade of hands-on industry experience specializing in Statistics, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence.

In addition to my extensive academic journey, I've dedicated over a decade to industry roles working as specialist in Statistics, Data Scientist, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Throughout my industry tenure, I've effectively applied my knowledge to an expansive range of commercial challenges. These include: (1) time-series-based demand predictions tailored for the retail sector, (2) reinforcement learning strategies for optimized inventory control and replenishment, (3) dynamic pricing mechanisms and cannibalization/substitution modeling for e-commerce, (4) crafting advanced recommendation systems and collaborative filtering, (5) spearheading language modeling and enhancing speech recognition, (6) developing data-driven trading strategies for algorithmic finance.

I possess a master’s degree with distinctions in Theoretical Physics (Dnipro, Ukraine), further complemented by one PhD in Quantum Chemistry (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), postdoctoral research in Biophysics (New York, USA) and another PhD in Behavioral Game Theory (Eindhoven, Netherlands). Throughout my academic journey, I have a robust track record of scientific publications, presented at numerous conferences, and have been recognized with both "Best Poster" and "Best Paper" awards for my ability to communicate complex scientific ideas.
