Dr. QUANG NGUYEN-LUONG Assitant Professor, the American University of Paris Founder of BOLTZ.AI Data Scientist at Orthoevidence Inc. +1-647-914-1612 [email protected] [email protected] http://www.cita.utoronto.ca/~qnguyenl RESEARCH INTERESTS I study the physics and chemistry of star formation, both the environment around the star nursery and the detailed structures of the young stars. I collect data from large telescopes and interferometers and apply data science methodology to probe the structure, astrochemistry, magnetic field, colliding clouds and low- velocity shocks of gas around star forming regions. I am also interested in understanding how astronomy has contributed to human development and how to use hands-on data science methodology to advance the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math subjects. On the business side, I am interested in commercializing research and boosting innovation, especially applications of quantum computing.
