"I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
― Albert Einstein 1929, quoted by Dr. Boris Kovalerchuk in Visual Knowledge Discovery and Machine Learning 2018

Alice Williams

Double Bachelor's of Science Computer Science and Applied Mathematics senior student. Former system administrator, full-stack software developer, and web-developer. Next, planning graduate studies in Computational Science with a focus on Visual Machine Learning. Solving problems at the intersection of Machine Learning & Data Visualization by blending computation with human cognition.
