About Me

Hi! I’m Suf

I’m Suf, a data scientist and AI researcher with a deep background in experimental particle physics. My journey—from analyzing vast datasets at the Large Hadron Collider to developing cutting-edge machine learning models—has shaped my expertise in building intelligent systems that extract meaningful insights from complex data. On this site, I share my research, tools, and practical guides on machine learning, programming, and algorithm design to help others apply advanced techniques effectively.
