Bruno Gonçalves is the founder at Data For Science, where he consults and teaches on building reliable machine learning and LLM systems. Trained as a physicist, with a PhD in the Physics of Complex Systems (2008), he spent more than a decade using large-scale data from Twitter, Wikipedia, mobile phones and web logs to study how people communicate, move, and spread information and disease, at Indiana University, Northeastern University, Aix-Marseille Université and NYU’s Center for Data Science. He then worked as VP of Data Science & Finance at JPMorgan Chase and as a research data scientist at TRM Labs. His research has been cited more than 17,000 times.
