Mobolaji Williams
Data Scientist & Researcher
Bio
Since 2024, I've worked as a data scientist at AE Studio, and from 2019 to 2024, I worked as a data scientist at Jellyfish.
Previous academic work involved studying multiple supersymmetry breaking as a model of dark matter in undergrad, and statistical physics and combinatorics of biomolecular interactions in grad school.
Research papers and presentations are below. Some essays are posted at Perturbations.
