                    <p>Hi, I am Alex Mendez, a data scientist fellow at <a href="http://insightdatascience.com/">Insight Data Science Program</a>. </p>
                    <p>Prior to entering the tech industry, I was a postdoctoral fellow at The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) working in observational astrophysics using large multi-wavelength datasets.
                    I study the relationship between super massive black holes (SMBHs) at different wavelengths, to disentangle the co-evolution of SMBHs and the galaxies in which they reside and to place them within a cosmological context.
                    Prior to JHU, I received my doctorate in physics from the <a href="http://ucsd.edu/">University of California, San Diego</a> working with <a href="http://cass.ucsd.edu/~acoil">Professor Alison Coil</a>, and
                    I received my Batchelor of Science degrees in Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy from the <a href="http://www.washington.edu/">University of Washington</a>. </p>
                    
                    <p>I enjoy coffee, code, and cycling.</p>
