About Me

I am Ricky Rojas, a student at Stanford University with an academic focus on statistics, natural language processing, and computational neuroscience. In addition to the Notation in Science Communication program, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Masters in Statistics. Outside of coursework I stay involved with the Stanford community as a peer advisor for the Data Science department, a teaching assistant for Data Science 112: Principles of Data Science, and I’ve also served on the introductory seminar student advisory committee. In my free time I enjoy baking, hiking, playing board games, watching movies, and hanging out with friends.

As a data science student, I’ve always been drawn to the art of making data visualizations and the notation in science communication has allowed me to further explore and develop those skills. I choose to model my portfolio around data visualizations as it intertwines well with my work around interpretability and communication.

The background splash image is the loss landscape of a convolutional neural network. The model is from losslandscape.com but the image was captured and edited by me. All other images were taken or created by me without the use of generative AI. The base website template is from html5up.net and has been significantly altered. The website is build using HTML, CSS, and Javascript and is hosted through GitHub Pages
