Independent Mechanism Analysis: Context and Methods
A presentation connecting blind source separation, nonlinear ICA (Independent Component Analysis in signal processing), identifiability, and the principle of independent causal mechanisms.
Hi, I’m Shashank, a student of Physics, with a record of working across interdisciplinary complex and computational systems
Current pursuits
I am activley looking for roles in Data Science, IT Operations, Signals and Systems Engineering. My core competencie lies in leveraging computational methods towards solving complex problems including in domains like IT systems monitoring, testing and operational managment

Scientific Computing at TU Berlin
An archived report from scientific computing coursework.
Advanced lab archive
These are older lab reports kept as an archive. They belong on a portfolio because they show the slow craft: measurement, uncertainty, instrument quirks, and careful plots.
