From Data to Decisions…
Hello there! I'm Atharva Dharia, currently a senior at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), where I am pursuing a dual degree in Data Science and Economics.As an international student, my educational experience has crossed national boundaries, giving me a perspective on the world and an in-depth knowledge of how data and economic processes are intertwined.
My passion for the transformational potential of data has guided me throughout my academic career. Through rigorous schooling in programming, statistics, and machine learning, I've developed a skill foundation that enables me to unearth important insights embedded within complex datasets. My ability to understand the significant influence of data on economic landscapes as well as its underlying tales is a unique skill I have acquired as a result of my dual-degree programme.
This portfolio acts as a platform for me as I continue to research the dynamic disciplines of data science and economics. It allows me to share my knowledge, highlight my work, and record the fascinating things I learn. Join me on this data-driven adventure where we'll examine the fascinating nexus between data and economics and reveal the storylines hidden inside the numbers.
