Kurt Jan Pumares, is marked by the pursuit of the analysis and utilisation of computational methods to model complex real-world problems, particularly in biological and medical applications. He studied Mathematics (BSc Honors) and Applied Mathematics (MSc), both at the University of the Philippines. He was also a visiting researcher at Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea primarily working on mathematical models of biological processes. He then worked as a Data Scientist at Auxilis in Wollongong, Australia, and built automated AI-integrated pipelines that contribute to FinTech solutions for clients. At Walton Institute in SETU, he researched about modeling the neuronal processes involved in epilepsy using mathematical modeling, molecular communications, synthetic logic circuits, and neural networks. He has presented his research at international research conferences and worked with researchers and principal investigators from FutureNeuro Research Ireland Centre for Translational Brain Science, demonstrating his academic credibility, interdisciplinary experience, and collaborative readiness. These roles and skills attest his strong enthusiasm in optimising data-driven systems, especially through leveraging AI techniques, while bridging his theoretical knowledge with real-world applications through acquired analytical and computational skills.
