Marcel Raas

Meet Marcel Raas, trainer at Xebia Academy. Marcel is a Data Science trainer and trains on behalf of GoDataDriven the Data Science Accelerator program and the Machine Learning course.

Marcel is a data scientist at GoData Driven. He is fluent in programming in Python, C++ and Matlab, knows mathematics relevant for machine learning (probability theory, optimisation, linear algebra) and how to use these in programming.

Marcel completed a study in theoretical physics, after which he did a PhD in particle physics at CERN. His first non-academic job was for Shell, building a mathematical toolbox for optimisation and data assimilation. After that he joined ASML, working on the design of algorithms that process measurements that have to be accurate to nanometer precision. 

Outside work Marcel likes to make music (plays electric guitar in his band), or cycle with his racing bike.
